Water infux and well completions affect recovery from water-drive gas reservoir. Material balance, aquifer models and well infow equations are used to examine and predict the pressure depletion, water infux, and production rates of water-drive gas reservoirs. The parameters of these simple, lumped models are estimated from simulation results using response surfaces and experimental designs for eight varying geologic and engineering factors. Eleven simulated responses (including maximum gas rate, aquifer and well constants, and water breakthrough) are analyzed using ANOVA and response models.
