Week 3.5-Multirate Test PDF

The document discusses multi-rate well test analysis, including drawdown and buildup tests. It provides the theoretical background for analyzing tests with multiple flow rates in infinite-acting reservoirs using superposition. Equations are presented for calculating wellbore pressure during a two-rate test and performing the analysis, including determining permeability, skin factor, and initial reservoir pressure. An example problem is also provided to analyze the results of a hypothetical drawdown test.

Learning objectives

At the end of this topic, students should be able to:

1. Develop a general theory for behavior of multi-rate tests in infinite-acting


reservoirs for slightly compressible liquids.

2. Application of superposition theorem to Drawdown and Buildup tests.

3. Analyze the Multi-rate test.

CO1: To analyze drawdown and build up test using analytical solutions.


Introduction
Consider a well with n rate changes during its production history, as indicated below

The objective is to determine the well bore pressure of a well producing with this schedule

Use superposition of the logarithmic approximation to the Ei-function solution

If q 0 = 0 and t 0 = 0.

Rate history for buildup test following two
different flow rates

For the special case qn = 0 (a pressure buildup test),

This equation and the previous one can be used to model several special cases or practical importance, but we must
remember that they have an important limitation: the reservoir must be infinite acting for the total time elapsed t
since the well began producing at rate q1.

Two-rate Flow Tests (Drawdown)

For a two-rate flow test whose production history given in the figure

If we rearrange and define t1 = tp1 and t-tp1=Δt, then the previous equation can
be expressed as:

Analysis of Two-Rate Flow Tests

Below procedure is suggested to analyze Two-Rate Flow Tests:

1. Plot Pwf vs. the time plotting function of

on Cartesian graph paper.

Determine the slope, m, from the straight line on the plot and use it to calculate
permeability, k , from

Analysis of Two-Rate Flow Tests
3. Calculate the skin factor, s , from

where P1hr is the flowing pressure at Δt’ =1 hr on the straight line or its extrapolation,
and Pwf1 is the flowing pressure at the time the rate is changed (i.e. Δt’ =0).

4. The initial reservoir pressure Pi is obtained by solving the drawdown equation for Pi.
