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:

Using a data-driven approach, Flowgrids ensured high-quality results through:

• Data Quality Assurance – Conducted rigorous validation and quality checks on pressure transient test data.
• Advanced Analytical & Numerical Modeling – Leveraged industry-standard software to extract key reservoir insights, including:
• Estimating permeability variations over time.
• Tracking changes in skin effect and wellbore damage.
• Identifying sand continuity, reservoir channels, and boundaries.
• Evaluating well injectivity trends and near-wellbore characteristics.

Value Delivered to the Client:

• Enhanced Reservoir Characterization – Provided critical insights into sand continuity, helping refine static and dynamic models.
• Improved Well Test Interpretation and Input Data for Reservoir Modeling– Delivered accurate permeability and skin effect data to optimize reservoir modeling.
• Optimized Production Strategy – Enabled the client to anticipate permeability trends and manage wellbore health for sustained production efficiency.

By integrating multi-year pressure test analysis with innovative modeling, Flowgrids provided the client with actionable information to refine reservoir management and boost operational performance.
