Abstract: The reservoir pressure of abnormal high pressure gas reservoir is higher than the corresponding hydro- static pressure, which results in the complicated exploitative process and much high cost. In order to develop abnormal high pressure gas reservoirs and analyze their production performance effectively,integrative analysis is made to some recent dynamic analysis methods in this paper.All of the methods are based on material balance equation and listed there, including Hammerlindll Single-point Adjustment Method, and Becerra-Arteaga's Pressure Curve Method. In the end, two typical abnormal high pressure gas reservoirs in America (Osscem and Anderson L) are taken for instance to analyze the effects of such methods. This can be used for reference to the development of domestic abnormal high pressure gas reservoirs in the future.
