Infinite-acting reservoir

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004357

A reservoir that behaves as if it has no outer boundaries during the duration of a pressure transient test. The pressure disturbance caused by production or injection has not yet reached any reservoir boundaries. This condition is typically observed during the early-time data of a well test, before boundary effects become apparent.
