Gaswell Testing

Abstract

A closer look at the interpretation of traditional gaswell tests leads us to modify some of the testing procedures in order to gain more information about the formation near the wellbore. Also, the AOF plots, discussed in the preceding section, may be misleading because the test does not separate the effects of non-Darcy flow from those due to limited entry and wellbore damage. In this section, we shall introduce a more comprehensive treatment of the gasflow system by including factors for the near wellbore skin and turbulence flow effects.
