Estimation of average reservoir pressure for short-time well-tests with linear flow period
Abstract
The article is devoted to the description of the methodology for estimating the average reservoir pressure for fractured wells or horizontal wells in the presence of a well test with only a linear flow period. Testing on artificial and real examples showed that the deviation of the results is less than 7 %. The described technique can be used to increase the efficiency of the development by increasing the efficiency of the geological and technical measures, as well as reducing the costs and losses of oil for ineffective well testing.
