Constant Pressure Interference Testing in a Double Porosity Infinite Reservoir
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This study presents an analytical method for determining the double-porosity reservoir properties using interference pressure data in an infinite reservoir producing at constant pressure. Wellbore storage and skin effects at the production and observation wells are neglected.The effects of rD, h, and w on interference pressure responses are examined. For dimension-less inter-well distances of 100 or more, the pressure responses are practically collapsed. As a result of this, a general type curve that can be used for any value of rD, is presented. Hence,for a given pressure response and rD the type curve yields unique values of h and w with only a small error. In addition to the log-log type curve, a semi-log type curve that is more useful for values of pD greater than 0.1 is presented.The semi-log derivatives of the interference pressure responses are considered. The pressure derivatives enhance small variations that occur in the pressure response during the flow period affected by the double-porosity nature of the reservoir.It is observed that using a simple correlation with h and rD, the derivative curves for values of rD of 100 and greater can be collapsed. Hence, a semi-log derivative type curve is developed. This type curve has two maxima. The early-time part is influenced by h. The time separation between the first maximum and the second maximum is a function of 0. The late time behavior is again a function of h.
