Modern pressure transient analysis of petroleum reservoirs. A practical view / Современный анализ изменения давления в нефтяных резервуарах. Практический взгляд

This book presents nine chapters of technical knowledge about pressure transient analysis. All of the chapters cover different subjects and provide the reader with a complete understanding of the well testing methodology and analysis, enabling well test engineers to comprehend the interpretation process together with the procedures required for reservoir interpretation.

The book will highlight the practical use of contemporary techniques in well test analysis, with a focus on the pressure derivative in particular. Flow tests, buildup tests with or without phase redistribution, multi-rate testing, interference tests, and pulse tests will all be analyzed using various pressure analysis techniques. Pressure test interpretation under multiphase flow regimes, hydraulically fractured wells, naturally fractured reservoirs, and horizontal wells will be covered in detail. Based on the various forms of well tests and the amount of the obtained well test data, the chapters were written in a simple way to provide a simple reference and guide.

Additionally, this book provides solutions to the exercises presented in various sections to highlight the procedures addressed in every chapter, helping well test engineers to better understand the well test plan and the overall well test processes.
