Pressure Transient Analysis of Reservoirs of Non-Constant Thickness
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The use of semi-log. and log-log graphs to identify mechanisms controlling pressure behavior in reservoir rocks has helped to bring about a better understanding of reservoir conditions.This report presents a new study about pressure behavior in a reservoir of non-constant thickness and then compares the applicability of both type curve and conventional semilogarithmic techniques. It is shown that a significant amount of information about pressure behavior and flow characteristics in a reservoir of non-constant thickness can be obtained by simultaneous examination of data plotted in log-log and semi-log coordinate systems. Also, an additional plot of pressure drop against the inverse of square root of time provides additional information on the characteristics of the reservoir of non-constant thickness. Application of the results of this report in petroleum engineering is also discussed.
