IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR WELL TEST ANALYSIS

1. The pressure measured at the bottom of the well is referred to as the

Bottom-Hole Pressure (BHP).
2. For well testing, the pressure and the production rate are the most
important measured quantities.
3. Define the pressure term which involves the back calculating of the Bottom
Hole Pressure which is based on a well flow model.

Ans -: Well Head Pressure

4. When several reservoir zones are produced at different bottom hole

pressures, it is common to have a pressure transducer in each zone.
5. The transient pressure tests utilize the relative change in pressure and thus
create a constant correction factor which doesn’t influence the well test
analysis.
6. Name the typical flow gauge which applies gamma ray attenuation at
different energy levels.

Ans -: Turbines, Coriolis Meters and Multiphase Flow Meters

7. Name the three classes of well test analysis processes?

Ans -: Drawdown test, Buildup test, and Interference test

8. The Drill Stem Test (DST) is a special drawdown test that is often
performed in exploration wells and newly drilled wells.
9. In an interference test, one well is produced through rate change and
pressure which is observed in a different drilled well.
10. Write the continuity equation for the single phase flow in the diffusivity
equation.

Ans -: ”mass in” − ”mass out” = ”change in mass”

11. The symbol of oil viscosity can be defined as 𝜇0 .

12. The Production Index (PI) is the way to measure the well productivity.
13. The drawdown test can be used to derive reservoir and well properties
such as permeability and skin factor.
14. Name the well test pressure in which the primary measurement of the
well test is done .

Ans-: Bottom Hole Well Test Pressure .

15. The reservoir permeability and the skin factor of the well can be found by
analyzing the well test data.
16. Which analysis assumes infinite acting flow at shut in for a shorter
production period of time?

Ans-: Horner Analysis

17. Write the one of the names for drawdown analysis tools which is used for
buildup analysis?

Ans-: Semi log plot.

18.The Agarwal time transformation includes wellbore storage and skin

effects.
19. At semi steady state, the pressure profile is constant over time, while the
average reservoir pressure falls due to production.
20. The criterion for semi steady state is that pressure falls with a constant
rate in the whole drainage area.
21. Name the two state flow names of flow regimes of a reservoir limit test.

Ans -: Infinitely acting radial flow and Semi steady state flow

22. Reservoir pore volume and shape factor is found from the semi steady
state flow period using a Cartesian plot.
23. Write the two methods for estimating the average reservoir pressure for
buildup tests.

Ans -: Ramey–Cobb method, Matthews-Brons-Hazebroek method

24. If the well does not penetrate the whole reservoir, there will be a heel and
toe effect that may mask the vertical radial flow or linear flow.
25.The fractures in the deep reservoirs are having typically the vertical
direction ways.
26. The well test gives estimates for formation permeability, probe reservoir
structure such as the location of faults.
27. Write the unfavorable factor conditions in which the gas well done
becomes high risk in nature.

Ans -: The Mobility Ratio of Gas and Drilling-Mud techniques

28. The well testing is used for reservoir monitoring of water or gas flooded
reservoirs for the interpretation of well tests.
29. The Water Injectors are tested in order to investigate how the injected
water displaces oil.
30. The pressure change during a time step is calculated by solving a sparse
linear system of equations.
