Pressure transient survey in producer during the pressure fall period caused by opening well for production or increasing its production rate (see Fig. 1).

Fig 1. Drawdown pressure decline (blue dots) for 2,300 hrs after opening the well for production at 100 m3/d. |
Interpretation
Interpretation of DD is based on:
- visual analysis of PTA diagnostic plot (see Fig. 1)
- selecting pressure diffusion model from PTA Type Library
- fitting selected parameters of pressure diffusion model to pressure gauge data records (see Fig. 2)
