Well tests provide important information about the reservoir and well performance by measuring pressure and production responses under controlled conditions. There are several types of well tests:
1. Drawdown and buildup tests analyze pressure changes during production and shut-in to determine permeability, skin effect, and reservoir limits.
2. Injection tests measure pressure during fluid injection to estimate similar properties over a larger reservoir area.
3. Interference and pulse tests involve pressure monitoring between wells to characterize permeability over an even greater reservoir scale. The results of well tests help evaluate the reservoir's hydrocarbon production capacity and performance.

Well test of oil wells can be performed at various stages
of completion and production simply identify the Produced fluid and their respective volume ratios , measure reservoir pressure and temperature, characterize the well damage test will also provide information about the state of the particular well used to collect data. The overall objective is identifying the reservoir's capacity to produce hydrocarbons, such as oil, natural gas and condensate. Well test provide information well productivity and reservoir performance over large scale of investigation Well testing is simply measurement under controlled condition of all factors relating to the production Purpose of well testing
Reservoir pressure: how much potential energy is there
Reservoir limits: how much fluid is there Near wellbore condition: damaged or stimulated kh product (reservoir conductivity): governs how fast fluid can flow to the well.
Investigates a much larger volume of the reservoir than cores
or logs Provide estimate of permeability Provides estimates of near-wellbore condition • fluid (oil and water), and gas recovery from formation Types of well test

Ideally, the flow rate should be co The pressure versus time data is analyzed together with other reservoir and well parameters to interpret the test. The measurement and analysis of pressure data taken after a well is put on production. Drawdown data are usually noisy, meaning that the pressure moves up and down as fluid flows past the gauges and minute variations in flow rate take place.
Information obtained: k, s, reservoir limit (drainage area)
Advantage: No revenue loss
Interpretation Semilog plot of pwf versus t: k, s 2. Build up Test
A well which is already flowing (ideally at a constant rate) is shut
in, and downhole pressure is measured. The pressure versus time data is analyzed together with other reservoir and well parameters to interpret the test. t Buildup tests are the preferred means to determine well flow capacity, permeability thickness, skin effect and other information. Soon after a well is shut in, the fluid in the wellbore usually reaches a somewhat quiescent state in which bottomhole pressure rises smoothly and is easily measured. This allows interpretable test results. Buildup tests are the preferred means to determine well flow capacity, permeability thickness, skin effect and other information. Soon after a well is shut in, the fluid in the wellbore usually reaches a somewhat quiescent state in which bottom hole pressure rises smoothly and is easily measure

of producing well close the well measure the last flowing pressure pwf and shut in pressure pws make interpretation Information obtained: same as PDD Difficulties Difficult to obtain constant rate prior to shut in revenue loss due to shut in

Procedure: Fluid injected into reservoir at a constant
rate while pressure is recorded Estimate k, s, reservoir limit (drainage area), Difficulties ’True reservoir response’ may be distorted by near wellbore effects such as wellbore storage, skin, fractures etc, and by boudary effects Falloff Test
falloff test – Shut in an injection well and
measure the pressure response Information obtained: Conceptually identical with PBU test. Estimate k, s, reservoir limit (drainage area) Interference test Pulse test
Interference test – Produce one well
at constant rate and measure the pressure response at one or more offset Two wells or more wells are pressure communication when communication exit determine provide estimate of permeability Pulse test
Coded signal is sent from active to observation well.
Signal is generated by alternating flow and shut-in periods Advantage: Useful to estimate reservoir properties over a greater length scale Interpretation: Special graphs
