Multiphase Pressure Buildup Analysis (Single-Rate Test; tp = 3232.65 h)
The production rates prior to the buildup test were given. From the plot
of pws versus log((tp + At)/At) (Figure 5-18), the slope of the MTR, m, is
120psi/cycle and that/?i/, r , at the instant of shut-in, was 497psig. From these
data, the following reservoir parameters can be estimated as follows:
End of wellbore
storage effects
in which Ap = pws pwf (At = O), CF is a correction factor to allow for the
gradually decreasing flow into the wellbore. This correction factor, CF, must
be selected by trial and error so that the resulting plot is linear. The plot
should be made only for values of At measured after 1 hour of closed I time.
Having chosen the correct values of CF, the slope of the straight line is
measured (m = psi/ log cycle) and the formation permeability can be deter-
mined using the following equation:
