Description: This interactive title deals exclusively with theory and practice
of gas well testing, pressure transient analysis techniques, and
analytical methods required to interpret well behavior in a given
reservoir and evaluate reservoir quality, simulation efforts, and
forecast producing capacity. A highly practical edition, this book
is written for graduate students, reservoir/simulation engineers,
technologists, geologists, geophysicists, and technical managers.
The author draws from his extensive experience in
reservoir/simulation, well testing, PVT analysis basics, and
production operations from around the world and provides the
  reader with a thorough understanding of gas well test analysis
basics. The main emphasis is on practical field application,
where 29 live interactive graphs and over 100 field examples are
presented to illustrate basic methods for analysis. Simple
solutions to the diffusivity equation are discussed and their
physical meanings examined. Each chapter focuses on how to
use the information gained in well testing to make engineering
and economic decisions, and an overview of the current research
models and their equations are discussed in relation to gas wells,
homogenous, heterogeneous, naturally and hydraulically
fractured reservoirs.
