High-Resolution Transient Flow Analysis for Accurate Well Performance Assessment

This comprehensive guide explores transient flow behavior in wells, focusing on boundary-dominated flow characteristics. It emphasizes the importance of high-resolution early-time characterization, enabling reliable flow regime identification throughout the well's lifecycle. Key processes include material balance, empirical decline analysis, and liquid loading effects, which offer insights into the estimation of fluids in place, recovery factors, and reservoir heterogeneities. Enhanced methods for analyzing transient production data facilitate accurate reserve estimates, drainage area characterization, and recovery projections under varying historical conditions.
