Abstract: Low permeability gas reservoir is characterized by low porosity, low permeability, serious heterogeneity and high water saturation, etc, which result in that the threshold pressure gradient effect similar to liquid percolation is remarkable for gas percolation. The conventional binomial deliverability equation is hard used to describe the real flow feature and deliverability of gas in such a reservoir. Adding the item of threshold pressure gradient into this equation, integrated with gas well performance in ordinary production period, this paper deduces the pseudosteady-state trinomial deliverability equation considering the threshold pressure gradient and presents the formula for calculating open flow potential of gas well in low permeability reservoir, so as to offer theoretical basis for determination of its rational production.

Key words: low permeability reservoir, threshold pressure gradient, deliverability equation
