TRANSMISSIVITY AND DIFFUSIVITY MAPPING FROM INTERFERENCE TEST DATA - A FIELD EXAMPLE
present a method to obtain a 2D description of a reservoir in terms of transmissivity and diffusivity estimated from well testing. This technique is based on the averaging of the parameters in a proposed interference-test measurement area. This area depends on time, diffusivity, and pressure-gauge sensitivity. We discuss a field application in a heterogeneous, anisotropic reservoir, and we use a simulator that uses oil/water production data from a pilot water-injection test to validate the application's results.
