Abstract

Summary A computer program based on the continuity and momentum equations for prediction of the flow of gas through low-permeability porous media was developed. This program uses the FORSIM code, which is based on the method of lines and several integration algorithms. Transient gas flow rates predicted with the computer program were compared with Inst. of Gas Technology's (IGT's) data for both partially water-saturated and dry tight-sand core samples.
