Subject: Analysis of a buildup test with wellbore storage and skin effects by using type-curve matching and semi-log techniques.

Table 1 gives reservoir/well/fluid data for a vertical well known to be producing at the center of a closed reservoir. Table 2 presents the pressure data obtained from a buildup test conducted in that well. (a) Estimate producing time using total production and rate prior to shut-in. (b) Make a log-log diagnostic plot of delta shut-in pressure change and its derivative versus elapsed time, and identify flow regimes exhibited by the buildup data and their time intervals. Also calculate wellbore storage coefficient from unit-slope line if it exists and kh from radial flow derivative (i.e., from zero-slope line) if it exists. (c) Perform Horner Analysis to determine permeability, skin, and initial static pressure. Note that to determine which time interval you will fit your radial flow straight line on Horner graph, you should look at log-log diagnostic plots of delta pressure and its derivative. (d) Analyze the same data using type curve matching to estimate k, s, wellbore storage coefficient. Please tabulate your results for comparison. Table 1. Reservoir/well/fluid property data.
