Determine well deliverability 2. Characterize formation damage and other sources of skin effect 3. Identify produced fluids and determine their respective volume ratios 4. Measure reservoir pressure and temperature 5. Obtain representative fluid samples suitable for PVT analysis 6. Evaluate completion efficiency 7. Evaluate workover or stimulation treatments. Descriptive reservoir tests are conducted to: 1. Assess reservoir extent and geometry 2. Determine hydraulic communication between wells 3. Characterize reservoir heterogeneities 4. Evaluate reservoir parameters. 7Flow Test Buildup Test t ∆t t Pwf, psia 0.017 5868.0 0.019 5846.0 0.022 5833.0 0.026 5792.0 0.030 5765.0 0.035 5721.0 0.040 5688.0 0.046 5643.0 ∆t, hr Pws, psia 0 3534 0.01 3544 0.02 3554 0.04 3574 0.06 3594 0.08 3614 0.1 3634 0.15 3680 t p Drawdown Buildup 8 t ∆t P wf(∆t=0)PART 1.1 – PRESSURE DRAWDOWN TEST 910 STRADDLE PACKER DST BASIC WELL TEST SET-UPThe most basic equation to practically all pressure transient tests is the diffusivity equation, which describes the radial flow of fluids through porous media.
