DSRFV

The document outlines various types of reservoir tests categorized into transient and stabilized tests, each serving different objectives such as defining reservoir characteristics and long-term production performance. Specific tests mentioned include drawdown, buildup, injection, falloff, interference, drill stem, flow-after-flow, and isochronal tests, each with unique conditions and objectives. These tests are essential for assessing reservoir properties, performance, and heterogeneity.

Types of Test

Type of tests is governed by the test objective.

• Transient tests which are relatively short term tests are used to
define reservoir characteristics.
– Drawdown Test

– Build-up Test

– Injection Test

– Falloff Test

– Interference Test

– Drill Stem Test


• Stabilized tests which are relatively long duration tests are used to
define long term production performance.

– Reservoir limit test

– AOF (single point and multi point)

– IPR (Inflow Performance Relationship)


Types of Test-Buildup Test

– Conditions
• A well which is already flowing (ideally constant
rate) is shut-in
• Down hole pressure measured as the pressure
builds up

– Objective
• To obtain average permeability of the reservoir
rock within the drainage area of the well
• To assess the degree of damage or stimulation
• To obtain initial reservoir pressure during the
transient state
• To obtain the average reservoir pressure over
the drainage area of the well during pseudo steady
state
Types of Test-Injection Test
– Conditions
• An injection test is conceptually identical to
a drawdown test, except flow is into the
well rather than out of it.

– Objective
• Injection well testing has its application in
water flooding, pressure maintenance by
water or gas injection, gas recycling and
EOR operations.
• In most cases the objective of the injection
test is the same as those of production test
(k,S,Pavg).
• Determination of reservoir heterogeneity
and front tracing.
Types of Test
• Falloff Test:
– A pressure falloff test is usually proceeded by an injectivity test of a long
duration. Injection then is stopped while recording the pressure. Thus, the
pressure falloff test is similar to the pressure buildup test.
• Interference Test:
– In an interference test one well is produced and pressure is observed in a
different wells.
– To test reservoir continuity
– To detect directional permeability and other major reservoir heterogeneity
– Determination of reservoir volume

• Drill Stem Test (DST):


– It is a test commonly used to test a newly drilled well (since it can only be
carried out while a rig is over the hole.
– In a DST, the well is opened to flow by a valve at the base of the test tool,
and reservoir fluid flows up the drill string.
– Analysis of the DST requires the special techniques, since the flow rate is
not constant as the fluid rises in the drill string.
• Flow‐After‐Flow Test:

– In this testing method, a well flows at


a selected constant rate until pressure
stabilizes - i.e., pseudo steady state is
reached.

– The stabilized rate and pressure are


recorded; rate is then changed and the
well flows until the pressure stabilizes
again at the new rate. The process is
repeated for a total of three or four
rates.
• Isochronal Test :
– 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, P¯.

– The well then is flowed at a second rate for the same length of time,
followed by another shut-in, etc.

– If possible. the final


flow period should be
long enough to achieve
stabilized flow.
