Measuring Part of Well & Reservoir Surveillance and one of the Subsurface E&P Disciplines, related to measuring well volumetric flow rate and wellbore pressure in one or few selected wells and interpretation of analysing pressure-rate correlation.
Unlike production analysis which normally covers a time period from few months to many years, well tests are rather short and normally take from few hours to few weeks.
The quantitative interpretation is based on on:
...
There are different ways to classify the well tests classifications.
One way is to split well tests into two major categories:
The other way is to split well tests by data acquisition methodology into three categoriesthe location where the measurements are taken and the well completion status:
Third way is to split well tests by number of wells involved:
