Abstract: Based on the basic decline rule of Arps, this paper presents a simple analysis method for decline regularity of low permeability gas reservoir. It points out that the production decline rate of gas well in such a compacted gas reservoir is not constant. The deformation of the attenuation decline equation is made, and a production prediction model is deduced with modified coefficient for better matching the production performance in terms of month rather than year in unit. The field application indicates that this method is simple, reliable and practicable for prediction of low, especially supper-low permeability gas reservoir with greater yield fluctuation.

Key words: low permeability reservoir, production decline, history match, prediction, forecast
