Unlocking Reservoir Insights Through Pressure Transient Test Analysis

The Challenge:

Flowgrids was tasked with interpreting multi-year pressure fall-off test data to enhance reservoir characterization. The study aimed to:

  • Assess permeability and its evolution over time.
  • Analyze changes in skin effect and wellbore damage.
  • Evaluate sand continuity and define reservoir boundaries.
  • Understand well injectivity characteristics and near-wellbore behavior.

 

Flowgrids’ Solution:
