| Abstract | The transient temperature analysis could cast different information from geothermal formations. One technique that utilises transient temperature analysis is the static formation temperature test, a method that has several decades in use. On the other hand, a new technique called Temperature Transient Analysis (TTA) has been used in the last few years. This method uses the transient temperature data generated during pressure buildup or falloff tests to estimate certain parameters from geothermal reservoirs that could complement the analysis carried out using Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA). The present paper explores the possible outcomes that could be obtained using Temperature Transient Analysis (TTA) in conjunction with Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA). |
