Well testing is the technique and method for the evaluation of
well conditions and reservoir characteristics
Initial reservoir pressure
Average pressure
Permeability
Skin(formation damage and stimulation)
Communication between wells
Flow barriers and fluid contacts

A step by step process is required to find the well test
interpretation model
Identification of interpretation model
Calculation of the interpretation model parameters
Verification of interpretation model

ETR (Early time region):
During which pressure
transient is moving through the
formation near the well bore.
MTR (Middle time region):
During which the pressure
transient has moved away from
the well bore .
LTR (Late Time region):
During which radius of
investigation reached the
boundary

Types of Well Testing

Well testing is divided into two major categories which are
further subdivided into different types:
Pressure Transient Testing
Build up test
Draw down test
Deliverability Testing
Flow after flow test
Isochronal test
Modified isochronal test

The well is first produced at
a constant rate till pressure
is stabilized and
Then the well is shut in.

Shut in the well till pressure
stabilizes
Then flow the well at a constant rate
q & measuring Pwf.

Well flows under a constant
rate until it reaches stabilized
conditions (pseudo steady
state).
After the stabilized rate and
pressure are recorded, the rate
is changed and the well flows
until pressure stabilizes again.

13
An isochronal test is
conducted by flowing a well at
a fixed rate, then shutting it in
until the pressure builds up to
an unchanging (or almost
unchanging) value.

In the modified isochronal test
shut-in periods are of the same
duration as the flow periods

A conventional technique for reservoir parameter determination is
semi log analysis. In this analysis technique the pressure data is
plotted versus time

The pressure derivative curves have given the well testing a new
dimension in resolving the issues related to reservoir model
identification
Rameys type curve
McKinley type curve
Gringarten type curve
Bourdet type
curves are one of the
famous derivative type
Curves.

Introduction To ECRIN Software

21
Ecrin is the most powerful tool for well test analysis in the industries. It has different
modules that can help to identify model and predict the reservoir behavior.

22
Aid the interpreter to choose the model that may
finally match the data and yield the results
The diagnostic phase includes the search for all flow regimes that
may be present in the response of the extracted period.
This will allow you to run a non linear regression to improve the
match between the model and data.

Well testing is one of the most important tools for understanding
and characterizing our reservoirs.
Well testing is based on analyzing draw down or buildup data.
This analysis involves study of pressure on semi log plot and
derivative plot.
Ecrin is the commercial software to understand and interpret the
reservoir parameters.
