Earth-Tide Effects on Downhole Pressure Measurements
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Earth-tide effects have been used to derive reservoir parameters by hydrologists and petroleum engineers. Most of the work done on this subject ignores the effect of dilatation of the matrix structure due to earth tides on downhole pressure response. In this work, we derive an equation which considers the effect of dilatation of matrix structure due to earth tides on downhole pressure measurements. We consider a few reservoir models and obtain the expected pressure response to earth tides for simple configurations. We compare our results with results which do not consider the effect of dilatation of the matrix structure. Field data which shows the effect of earth tides on downhole pressure measurements is processed to derive estimates of reservoir parameters using this method.
