Synonym: Pressure Build-Up (PBU) = Build-Up Survey (BUS)
Excerpt |
---|
Pressure transient survey in producer during the pressure rise period caused by shutting well down or reducing its production rate |
(see Fig. 1):
Fig 1. Build-up Survey |
starting after well is closed at 3,600 hrs and going through pressure recovering for 7 days (blue dots). The grey dash line shows bottom hole pressure history before 3,600 hrs in case it would have been recorded. |
Interpretation
...
Interpretation of BUSPBU is based on:
- visual analysis of PTA diagnostic plot
- selecting pressure diffusion model from PTA Type Library
- fitting selected parameters of pressure diffusion model to to pressure gauge data records
In some cases when one can uses Horner model which is a with simplified version of BUSPBU interpretation procedure.
