Reservoir Engineering Series WELL TEST ANALYSIS aan TOTAL 55 COMPAGNIE FRANCAISE DES PETROLES DIRECTION PRODUCTION DEPARTEMENT RESERVOIR By. 1. CHAPERONINTRODUCTION This handbook presents a comprehensive approach to well test interpretation combining type-curves as a diagnosis device to recognise various flow regimes, and conventional methods of analysis as precise tools for computation of the unknown reservoir/well parameters. ‘The scope is to provide practical understanding of the most useful basic methods to analyse buildup and drawdown pressure data as well as their theoretical basis so that the user is aware of the assumptions underlying each method, and their limitations. Interpretation methods are ilustrated by field examples provided by CFP's worldwide experience.TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I, OBJECTIVES AND TYPES OF TESTS 1, EXPLORATION WELLS (objectives - D.S.T., R.F Ml, DELINEATION WELLS Objectives > ‘Types of tests: DST, production test (D.D., BU.
