An Introduction To Well Testing
Well testing is the science of simultaneously measuring a well’s flowrate and corresponding pressure response, to determine well and reservoir parameters…
An Overview Of Skin Factor
Skin factor is a parameter in the Darcy Flow Equation, and it exists to account for the difference in theoretical flowrate versus the actual observed flowrate, for a given pressure drop…
Skin Due To Damage
The most common cause of skin in a well is due to damage to the formation near the wellbore…
Skin Due To Partial Penetration
A common cause of skin in a well is due to partial penetration…
Skin Due To Turbulence
One of the causes of skin in a gas well is due to turbulence near the wellbore…
5 Things To Consider When Planning a DFIT
Are you thinking about running a DFIT? Here are 5 things to consider as you plan you test…
Fracture Tip Extension
Why do shale reservoirs tend to produce such unusual G-function plots? A little phenomenon known as “fracture tip extension” has something to do with it…
Radius Of Investigation
Radius of investigation is a term often used in well testing, referring to how far into the reservoir a pressure transient has traveled…
Critical Rate and Liquid Loading
Liquid loading occurs when the velocity of the gas fall below the terminal velocity of the liquid droplets…
How To Run A Deliverability Test
A deliverability test is a simple type of well test that is used to determine a well’s production potential or “deliverability”…
How To Run A Buildup Test
A buildup test is a common type of well test, which includes pressure transient analysis, and it is used to determine some critical well and reservoir parameters…
How To Run A Pressure Gradient Survey
A pressure gradient survey is a simple type of well test that is designed to answer questions about the fluid in a well…
Introduction To Interference Testing
An interference test is a type of pressure transient test that measures the connectivity between two or more wells in the same reservoir…
Primary Pressure Derivative
Being able to accurately identify wellbore-related effects is critical for an accurate well test analysis...
12 Rules For Well Testing
Here are 12 rules for well testing that will help lead you to the best possible analysis…
5 Things To Consider When Plugging A Well
Here are 5 things you should consider if you are planning a P&A project…
Testing Horizontal Wells
The flow geometries in horizontal wells are similar to vertical wells, but with some nuanced differences…
