<p><em>Wells X-1 is a gas condensate well which located in lapangan X, Sulawesi Island. At well X-1 well test was conducted using pressure build up, where the analysis was conducted with objective to determine the reservoir characteristic of X-1 wells such as permeability, skin, flow efficiency and investigation radius. In the pressure build up test, the horner plot and derivation analysis using pseudo pressure and P2 approaches were applied with the gas well X-1 has a reservoir pressure of 2555 psia. The analysis is done using saphir 3.20 and Ms.Excel software where the results of the counsel to see if there is any possibility of formation damage. X-1 is also known as homogeneous with a fault boundary present in the fault located at a certain distance from the well X-1 in which the fault is only one direction from the reservoir. The pressure derivative plot analysis was conducted with two methods such as two-point method and three-point method, where the result of the overlay of the derivative curve corresponds to the deviation of the calculation result method which is less than 10%. The horner plot analysis is also done with the ψ(P) pseudo pressure and P2 approach which is the result of horner plot analysis using pseudo pressure ψ(P) pseudo pressure in saphir 3.20 obtained the slope (m), permeability, and skin values respectively were 3.22432E + 5 psi2/cp, 132 mD, and 21.6, whereas Ms.Excel results obtained the price of slope (m), permeability, and skin respectively were 320890.61 psi2/cp, 134.83 mD, and 21.1. To analyze the horner plot using the P2 approach at saphir 3.20 the value of slope (m), permeability, and skins values respectively were 5495.07 psi2/cp, 125 mD, and 21.3 and for the results of Ms. Excel the price of slope (m), permeability, and skin respectively were 5451.66 psi2/cp, 147,29 mD, and 20,1. Positive skin results in both methods of horner plot and derivative plot indicate the well is damaged and need to be stimulated</em><em>.</em></p>

Formation damage usually occurs in near-well regions for injection wells completed in offshore oilfields under the development of line drive patterns. However, current works on characterizing the damage by well test analysis were basically focused on using single-phase analogy to solve two-phase flow issues, resulting in errors on the diagnosis and interpretation of transient pressure data. In this paper, we developed a two-phase model to simulate the pressure transient behavior of a water injection well in a multiwell system. To solve the model more efficiently, we used the finite volume method to discretize partially differential flow equations in a hybrid grid system, including both Cartesian and radial meshes. The fully implicit Newton-Raphson method was also employed to solve the equations in our model. With this methodology, we compared the resulting solutions with a commercial simulator. Our results keep a good agreement with the solutions from the simulator. We then graphed the solutions on a log-log plot and concluded that the effects of transitional zone and interwell interference can be individually identified by analyzing specific flow regimes on the plot. Further, seven scenarios were raised to understand the parameters which dominate the pressure transient behavior of these flow regimes. Finally, we showed a workflow and verified the applicability of our model by demonstrating a case study in a Chinese offshore oilfield. Our model provides a useful tool to reduce errors in the interpretation of pressure transient data derived from injection wells located in a line drive pattern.

<p><em>Th</em><em>e pressure behaviour of a well can be easily measured and is useful in analysing and predicting reservoir performance or diagnosing the condition of a well. Since a well test and subsequent pressure transient analysis is the most powerful tool available to the reservoir engineer for determining reservoir characteristics, the subject of well test analysis has attracted considerable attention. A well test is the only method available to the reservoir engineer for examining the dynamic response in the reservoir and considerable information can be gained from a well test. A well test is the examination of the transient behaviour of a porous reservoir as the result of a temporary change in production conditions performed over a relatively short period of time in comparison to the producing life of field. The build up can be both the part of the test when the well is shut in and a value represented by the difference in the pressure measured at any time during the build up and the final flowing pressure. The most common megods of transient (time dependant) pressure analysis required that data points be selected such that they fell on a well-defined straight line on either semi-logarithmic or cartesian graph paper. The well test analyst must the insure that the proper straight line has been chosen if more than one line can be drawn through the plotted data. This aspect of interpretation of well test data requires the input of reservoir engineer. Equally important is the design of a well test to ensure that the duration and format of the test is such that it produces good quality data for analysis. The results obtained from transient pressure analysis are used to discover the formation damage by detemining skin. This experiment will be analyzed oil well which is NA-20 well in Senja field. The results from the analysis of the data obtained on NA-20 well is 4.84 mD permeability, skin +1.42, pressure changes due to skin (ΔPskin) 264.384 psi, and flow efficiency 0.842 with 851.61 ft radius of investigation. The result from the analysis of the well showed that NA-20 well in Senja field have formation damage.</em></p>

Abstract Two simple and equivalent procedures are suggested for improving the calculated average reservoir pressure from pressure buildup tests of liquid or gas wells in developed reservoirs. These procedures are particularly useful in gas well test analysis irrespective of gas composition, in reservoirs with pressure-dependent permeability and porosity, and in oil reservoirs where substantial gas saturation has been developed. Long-term production history need not be known. Introduction For analyzing pressure buildup data with constant flowrate before shut in, two plotting procedures are mostly used: The Miller-Dyes-Hutchinson (MDH) plot (1,8) and the Horner plot (2,8). The Miller-Dyes-Hutchinson plot is a plot of pws vs log Δt. The Horner plot consists of plotting the bottom hole shut-in pressure, pws vs log [(tp + Δt)/Δt]. Δt is the shut-in time and tp is a pseudo-production time equal to the ratio of total produced fluid and the last stabilized flowrate prior to shut in. This method was first used by Theis (3) in the water industry.
