Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (DaPrat, et al, paper SPE 13054)

Orientation: DaPrat, et al, paper SPE 13054

Discussion:
This homework concerns the analysis of pressure drawdown and buildup test data for a well in western
Venezuela (Well Mach 3X 2 tests total, see attached paper by DaPrat, et al). The associated plots
(Cartesian, semilog, and log-log data plots) are attached, as well as the appropriate type curves for dual
porosity systems. As noted in the paper, these well tests are NOT contemporary i.e., do not "tie" the
pressure drawdown and pressure buildup tests to each other, use the production history as specified for
the pressure buildup test. In short ANALYZE THESE DATA SEPARATELY!

Type Curve Analysis Relations:
Naturally Fractured Reservoir: (pwD' vs. tD/(1-) format, "Onur, et al " type curves)
Formation Permeability:
qB [ pwD or p'wD ]MP
k = 141.2
h [p' or p' ]MP

Dimensionless Fracture Storativity:

is taken from the type curve match
Dimensionless Interporosity Flow Parameter:

= 0.0002637
/(1 ) ct rw2 [t D /(1 )]MP
Note: The Cartesian and semilog data analysis techniques are used in exactly the same manner for
natural-ly fractured (i.e., dual porosity) reservoirs as for homogeneous reservoir systems. There are
other interpretation techniques for the semilog analysis of pressure data from naturally fractured
reser-voirs (e.g., those techniques discussed in the second edition of the Lee, et al text), but for the
purpose of this homework, you should only use "conventional" semilog (and Cartesian) data analy-
sis methods.
Required:
1. You are to analyze the well test data in the paper by DaPrat, et al. in as complete detail as possible.
The required data, plots, and instructions are attached.
Notes:
a. Various type curves are provided in a 1 inch-by-1 inch format in this handout these type curves
should be sufficient for your analysis.
b. You are to provide a comprehensive HAND ANALYSIS of these test data type curves are provided
for hand analysis..

Well Mach-3X (SPE 13054)
Field Case: Well Mach-3X (SPE 13054)
These data were obtained from a field in Western Venezuela and in this case the analysts claim that the
well performance indicates pseudosteady-state interporosity flow character. You are to verify (or
disprove) this conjecture using both the drawdown and buildup test data. As noted earlier, these drawdown
and buildup tests were not performed at the same relative time in the life of the well.
Reservoir properties:
=0.048 rw=0.2917 ft h=65 ft
Oil properties: (initial reservoir pressure unknown)
Bo=1.8235 RB/STB o=0.362 cp ct=24.5x10-6 psia-1
Production parameters:
Drawdown Test Sequence Buildup Test Sequence
qo=2700 STB/D (constant) qo=3224 STB/D (constant)
pwf(t=0) =11,348.0 psia pwf (t=0) = 9911.0 psia
tp=56 hr
Required:
Using the attached plots, you are to perform "type curve" analysis on these data and provide estimates
of the following parameters (as appropriate):
a. The formation permeability, k.
c. The dimensionless wellbore storage coefficient, CD.
e. The near-well skin factor (compare to semilog analysis), s.
f. The dimensionless fracture storativity ratio, .*
g. The dimensionless interporosity flow coefficient, .*
* Assuming that naturally fractured reservoir behavior is exhibited.
Note:
You are also to verify/calculate properties using the specialized plots that are provided (pressure
versus shut-in time and pressure versus logarithm of shut-in time, effective shut-in time, and Horner
timeas well as the Muskat-Arps plot (pressure versus pressure derivative) for the analysis of late-
time pressure buildup data). Be sure to perform all Cartesian and semilog analyses (which are
relevant) and provide all results and calculations.
