ABSTRACT
reservoir
boundaries detected during a well test.
The method is based on elements of ray tracing and information theory, and is centered on
the calculation of an instantaneous "angle of view" of the
reservoir
boundaries.
In the absence of other information, the relative
reservoir
shape and boundary distances
are retrievable in the form of a diagnostic image. If other
reservoir
information, such as
3-D seismic, is available, the full shape and orientation of arbitrary (non-straight-line
or circular arc) boundaries can be determined in the form of a
reservoir
image. The well
test imaging method can be used to greatly enhance the information available from well
tests and other geological data, and provides a method to integrate data from multiple
disciplines to improve
reservoir
characterization
. This paper covers the derivation of the
analytical technique of well test imaging and shows examples of application of the
technique to a number of reservoirs.
