Abstract We use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and centrifugation to measure the original water saturation and mobile water saturation of cores from the Xujiahe low permeability sandstone gas reservoir, and compare the NMR results with the corresponding field data. It is shown that the NMR water saturation after 300 psi centrifugation effectively represents the original water saturation measured by weighing fresh cores. There is a good correlation between mobile water saturation and the water production performance of the corresponding gas wells. The critical mobile water saturation whether reservoir produces water of the Xujiahe low permeability sandstone gas is 6%. The higher the mobile water saturation, the greater the water production rate of gas well. This indicates that well's water production performance can be forecasted by mobile water saturation of cores.
