Transient rate and pressure test analysis

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003894

The interpretation of pressure and flow rate data collected during a well test to determine reservoir and well properties. This analysis involves observing how pressure changes in response to controlled flow rate variations, or how flow rate changes under constant pressure. Techniques like pressure buildup, drawdown, and interference tests fall under this category, providing insights into reservoir connectivity and permeability.
