    Abstract:

    The gas-water relative permeability curve is an important basic parameter to describe the gas-water flow law of water-producing gas reservoirs. However,it is still controversial to determine the gas-water relative permeability curve by the water-drive-gas method or the gas-drive-water method. Taking reservoirs in Yuanba gas field as the research objects,the systematic laboratory experiments were conducted to study the gas-water relative permeability curves of porous and fractured cores. The gas-water relative permeability curves of cores from different types of reservoirs were compared and analyzed,and the test method was recommended for the gas-water relative permeability curves in water-producing gas reservoirs. The results demonstrate that the gas-water relative permeability curves of fractured cores are concave,which are quite different from conventional X-shaped curves;compared with that of fractured cores,the gas-water relative permeability curves of pored cores move to the right as a whole;the ranges of two-phase flow saturation are wider,and the waterphase relative permeability rises more slowly. Compared with that by the gas-drive-water method,the irreducible water saturations from the permeability curves by the water-drive-gas method are closer to the actual situation of the reservoir;the water phase flow capacity is weak,while the gas phase flow capacity is greater than that of the water phase. The experimental design is in line with the gas-water flow process in water-producing gas reservoirs. Therefore,for the productivity evaluation and development plan design for water-producing gas reservoirs,it is recommended to use the gas-water relative permeability curve tested by the water-drive-gas method for numerical simulation.
