Petroleum Engineering 324 — Well Performance Homework No. 7 — Analysis of Pressure Buildup Data (Bourdet (Radial Flow) Example)
19 March 2003 — Due: Wednesday 26 March 2003
Homework 7: Analysis of Pressure Buildup Data (Bourdet (Radial Flow) Example)
This problem set considers the "classic" Bourdet example for a pressure buildup test analyzed using derivative type curve analysis. For completeness, the Bourdet, et al. paper is also attached — however, you must provide your own analysis — you are to only use the Bourdet analysis as a guide, there are con-siderable differences of opinion as to what the "right" answers should be.
Be sure to work the problem using BOTH shut-in time (∆t) and effective shut-in time (∆te). Recall that ∆te is the time function for the equivalent pressure drawdown case. A Horner plot is provided, as well as the semilog ∆t and effective shut-in time ∆te plots — you are to use all of these plots.
Finally, for some reason, Bourdet, et al. chose not to work in terms of pressure, pws, but instead to work in terms of the pressure drop, ∆p. This is not a limitation, but it does require that you use ∆p1hr rather than pws,1hr-pwf(∆t=0) in the semilog skin factor relation.
For your convenience, the governing relations for type curve analysis using the "Bourdet -Gringarten" type curves are:

Notes:
a. The Bourdet-Gringarten type curves for radial flow behavior, including wellbore storage and skin effects, are provided in a 1 inch-by-1 inch format in this handout.
b. You have also been provided with log-log "pressure and pressure integral RATIO function" plots and type curves. Use of these materials is at your discretion, BUT you should note that these functions may significantly improve your ability to assess the transition and end of wellbore storage effects. You are strongly encouraged to use these resources.
You are NOT required to use these pressure and pressure integral RATIO functions, they are provided to assist your analysis—and are not intended to confuse you.
