reservoirs with multiple wells and
multiple layers Design and interpretation using GeoTesting services, a plug-in for the Petrel E&P software platform,
is performed in a shared earth model for greater certainty compared with conventional analysis limited
BENEFITS to geometrical models.
■■ Optimizes test design to ensure successful
reservoir characterization GeoTesting services can be applied to conventional, unconventional, and hydraulically or naturally
fractured reservoirs with multiple wells and multiple layers.
■■ Validates and confirms reservoir models
using dynamic measurements Optimize test design using available G&G data
■■ Improves accuracy in production forecasting Enabled by the Petrel* E&P software platform, GeoTesting services allow geomodelers and engineers
by reducing uncertainty to perform G&G-centered design and interpretation in a shared earth model for greater certainty compared
with conventional analysis limited to geometrical models. Pressure derivative plots are also provided
FEATURES within the simulation environment using the software’s advanced functionality.
■■ Calibrates reservoir models by integrating
well test data into reservoir During the test design process, GeoTesting services are used to optimize test design for characterizing
simulation models geological features of interest and providing alternative test options. Uncertainty in the geological
model is included during the design process to ensure optimal data quality as well as deliver

Maximize the value of your well test
■■ Delivers a seamless geological and GeoTesting services enable well test information to be used to its full extent, providing seamless
geophysical (G&G) interpretation process integration with the reservoir models and geologic information. This is unlike conventional
interpretations, which are generally performed independently from the valuable G&G information.
Interpretation of complex tests is easily performed, providing deeper and more accurate insight
into your reservoirs and maximizing the value of dynamic measurement services.

GeoTesting
Understand complex environments
Design and interpret well tests with confidence in fractured environments
with the industry-leading naturally fractured reservoir simulator. Model your
fractures explicitly and calibrate with pressure transient tests to determine
which fractures matter and which do not.

Automate reservoir model updates


Advanced simulation technology is used to match the well test data by
automatically updating the reservoir model properties. The built-in optimizer
allows complete automation in the matching process without the need
for manual updates to the reservoir model properties.

Discrete fracture model is generated based on the effective permeability distribution.

Updated permeability field shows interwell connectivity in a naturally fractured reservoir.

Autogridding around the tested wells improves pressure transient simulation. slb.com/welltesting
