Features: Natural gas development involves multiple specialized disciplines, primarily including petroleum geology, reservoir engineering, and gas production engineering, with a high degree of comprehensiveness. This book mainly introduces how petroleum workers use scientific methods and modern technology to extract natural gas from underground reservoirs and deliver it to users after a gas field and reservoir are explored and discovered. It covers the main production stages involved, the work required, and more. The book focuses on the primary processes of gas field development, how to establish reasonable production systems for gas wells, how to formulate development plans, gas well pad process and flow, and other related content. It also provides a preliminary introduction to gas well drainage production technology, reservoir stimulation, gas well enhancement measures, and the characteristics of high-sulfur gas field development. Additionally, it discusses the uniqueness of gas field development, emphasizing that gas field development should be based on reserves and oriented toward the market. By formulating and implementing development plans according to the geological characteristics of the reservoir and the needs of users, gas fields should be scientifically developed while adhering to the principle of market orientation and economic benefits as the core.
