Analyzing DST Using Homer Plot


A DST was conducted on an oil well. The following information was reported by the DST
Company. The pressure buildup data are given in Tables 1 and 2. Well/Reservoir and
pressure buildup data are given in Tables 1 and 2.
Determine the following:
• Check validity and consistency of reported DST data
• Formation permeability, k
• Skin factor and pressure drop due to skin
• Initial reservoir pressure
• Flow efficiency
• Damage ratio
• Apparent wellbore radius
• Radius of investigation
Table 1
Test type = open hole
Hole size = 7.88 in.
Pipe length = 240 ft
Diameter of collar = 45 in.
Reservoir pressure @ gauge depth = 2560 psi
Pressure at the end of first flow = 371 psi
Final shut-in pressure = 1005 psi
Pressure at the end of second flow period = 643 psi
Final shut-in pressure = 1969 psi
API0 = 36.87 API
Ct = 8.0 x 10-6 Psi-1
Initial shut-in pressure = 2660 psi
Bo = 1.215 RB/STB
Vu = 0.0197 bbl/ft and p = 52.78 lb/ft3
Total well depth = 6550 ft
Mud density = 7.51b/gal
Collar length = 240 ft
Gauge depth = 6549 ft
First flow period = 6 min
First shut-in period = 30 min
Second flow period = 60 min
Second shut-in period = 120 min
φ = 16%
µ= 1 cP
h = 17ft
rw = 0.33 ft
tp1 = 6min, tP2 = 120min
Solution To analyze pressure buildup test, follow these steps:
• Identify the MTR and find the slope of MTR, p\hr, and p* of the Horner plot of the
second shut-in period (Figure 3).
• Prepare Horner plot of the first and second shut-in buildup pressures on the same graph
paper as shown in Figure 4.
• Check validity and consistency of reported DST data.
The reported initial reservoir pressure at gauge depth is 2560 psi, which is in good
agreement with pt = p* = 2554 psi (extrapolated pressure from the first shut-in straight
line). The mud weight should be

Thus the reported mud weight is correct.


• Formation permeability, k.
From the extrapolated MTR, line of the second shut-in to (tp + Δt)/Δt = 1

In general k as determined from the initial shut-in could be different from that determined
from the final shut-in. This is because of the differences in the radius of investigation.
• Skin factor and pressure drop due to skin:
Analyzing Interference Test Using Type Curve Matching Technique
An interference test was conducted in an oil well. Water was injected into well 1 for 48 hr.
The pressure response in well 2 (65 ft away) was observed for 148 hr. The observed pressure
data are given in Table 1, and the known well/Reservoir properties are given. Determine
permeability and porosity of the formation between the two tested wells.
Pi = 0 psig, t1 = 48hr, qw = -185stb/day, βW = 1.0 rb/stb, µW = 1.0 cP,
r = 80 ft, Ct= 13.82 x 10-6 psi-1, h = 55 ft.
Assume that the three wells as shown in Figure -1 are producing under a
transient flow condition for 15 hours. The following additional data is
available:

Qo1 = 100 STB/day, Qo2 = 160 STB/day, Qo3 = 200 STB/day, pi = 4500 psi, Bo =
1. 20 bbl/STB, Ct = 20 × 10−6 psi−1, (S)well1 = 0.0, h = 20 ft, φ = 15%, k = 40 md,
rw = 0. 25 ft,
µo = 2. 0 cp, r1 = 400 ft, r2 = 700 ft.
If the three wells are producing at a constant flow rate, calculate the sand face
flowing pressure at well 1.

Step 1. Calculate the pressure drop at well 1 caused by its own production by using
Equation under:
Step 2. Calculate the pressure drop at well 1 due to the production from well 2:

Step 3. Calculate the pressure drop due to production from well 3:

Step 4. Calculate the total pressure drop at well 1:


or

Step 5. Calculate pwf at well 1:


Figure under shows a well located between two sealing faults at 100 and 200 feet
from the two faults. The well is producing under a transient flow condition at a
constant flow rate of 200 STB/day.
Given:
pi = 5000 psi, k = 600 md, Bo = 1. 1 bbl/STB, φ = 17%, µo = 2. 0 cp, h = 25 ft,
rw = 0. 3 ft, S = 0, Ct = 25 × 10−6 psi−1
Calculate the sand face pressure after 10 hours.

Solution:
Step 1. Calculate the pressure drop due to the actual well flow rate:
Step 2. Determine the additional pressure drop due to the first fault (i.e., image
well 1):

Step 3. Calculate the effect of the second fault (i.e., image well 2):
