Subject: Analysis of a buildup test with wellbore storage and skin and boundary effects by using log-log, Horner and MBH Analyses.

The data provided in Tables 1 and 2 are pertinent to a buildup test conducted in an oil well producing at the center of a closed square reservoir. The length and width of the reservoir is 500x500 ft. (a) (30 marks) Make a log-log plot of buildup pressure change p and its derivative vs. shut-in time. Then identify the flow regimes exhibited by the data and their time intervals on the log-log diagnostic plot. (b) (30 marks) Perform Horner analysis of buildup pressure data and determine permeability and skin. You should state how you chose the time intervals to draw your Horner semilog straight line. (c) (40 marks) Compute the average reservoir pressure combining Horner analysis by MBH analysis (MBH Chart for the well/reservoir configuration is given in Appendix I).
