Description

Transient well testing provides indirect determination of reservoir and well parameters. It is one of the most important in a spectrum of diagnostic tools used by petroleum engineers to characterize hydrocarbon assets and predict their future performance. This new monograph is the go-to handbook for designing, running, and analyzing different types of transient tests in oil and gas reservoirs. Since the publication of SPE's last monograph on well testing, considerable advances in testing tools, computing technology, and theoretical development have continued to enhance the information that can be obtained from transient testing and change the methods of interpretation. A gap in the petroleum engineer s library for a comprehensive book covering the state of the art in well-test analysis has existed for some time now. Practicing petroleum engineers need a single up-to-date reference for transient testing of oil, gas, and water wells; Transient Well Testing has been written to fill that gap.
