Prueba Build up

Step 1. Plot pws vs. (tp+t)/t on a semilog scale as shown in Figure. Step 2. Identify the correct straight-line portion of the curve and determine the slope m: Step 3. Calculate the average permeability by using Equation

Step 4. Determine pwf after 1 hour from the straight-line portion of the curve:

Step 5. Calculate the skin factor by applying Equation

Step 6. Calculate the additional pressure drop by using:

The selected shut-in times satisfy t1 < t2 < t3. The slope of the pseudosteadystate straight-line mpss is then approximated by:

The well drainage area can be calculated from Equation

where: mpss or m\ = slope of straight line during the pseudosteady-state flow, psi/hr Qo = flow rate, bbl/day A = well drainage area, ft2

Step 1. Calculate total production time t

Step 2. Plot pws vs. (tp+t)/ t The plot clearly shows two straight lines with the rst slope of 650 psi/cycle and the second with 1300 psi/cycle. Notice that the second slope is twice that of the rst slope indicating the existence of the sealing fault. Step 3. Using the value of the rst slope, calculate the permeability k:

Step 4. Determine the value of Horners time ratio at the intersection of the two semilog straight lines shown in Figure 1.96, to give:

Step 5. Calculate the distance L from the well to the fault by applying Equation:
