ABSTRACT

The most difficult aspect of numerical simulation of well tests is the treatment of the bottom-hole flowing (BHF) pressure. In full-Previous HitfieldNext Hit Previous HitsimulationsTop, this pressure is derived from the well-block pressure (WBP) using a numerical productivity index that accounts for the grid size and permeability, and for the well completion. This productivity index is calculated assuming a pseudo-steady-state flow regime in the vicinity of the well and is therefore constant during the well production period.
