SPE Distinguished Lecturer Program
The SPE Distinguished Lecturer Program is funded principally through a grant from the SPE Foundation.
The society gratefully acknowledges the companies that support this program by allowing their professionals to participate as lecturers.
Special thanks to the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME) for its contribution to the program.

What’s in the Title?
• Twenty-five Years
• Use of Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA)
– This lecture illustrates how we have used PTA
in the last 25 years. By understanding that, you
can use this technology better in the future.

The Three Big Questions
• Why do we do it?
• How can we do it better?
• What’s the big picture?
![Page 8: SPE Distinguished Lecturer · PDF file5. Log-Log Diagnostic Plot Bourdet 1983. Bourdet, D., et al., “A New Set of Type Curves Simplifies Well Test Analysis”, World Oil, May, 1983,](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051304/5a7129ee7f8b9ac0538ca354/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Why Do We do Well Tests?
• Fluids - (gas or oil, PVT, surface processing issues, pipeline design)
• Rate - Reservoir (permeability)
• Rate - Completion (skin, length, conductivity)
• Continuity - (compartments, drainage area, nearby boundaries)

Summary and Conclusions• Why do we do it?
– Pie chart – 21-test 1993-lookback
– Continuity test - thin beds
– Skin distributions
• How can we do it better?
– Permanent downhole gauges for well and reservoir management
– Wireline Formation Tester – cheaper, safer, and greener but more information

Summary and Conclusions
• What’s the big picture?
– PTA results versus petrophysical lab perm data
– Geological layering for accurate interpretation of horizontal wells
• Most examples are from Gulf of Mexico but principles are universal.

Optimal Value TestingWhat is it?
• New in toolbox– Wireline formation test– Closed system test– Injection test
• Fit for purpose with lowest cost and HSE impact
• Any test where hydrocarbons are not produced directly to surface
