Abstract Complex reservoir geometries can influence the results obtained from transient-production-decline analysis. For naturally fractured reservoirs, it is common to observe linear-flow geometries and limited drainage areas. In some cases, these results are inconsistent with the expected geological, structural, and depositional character of the reservoir. Complex reservoir geometries and flow conditions such as liquid loading can contribute to this phenomenon.
Single numerical simulation with well test models cases will be used to generate the control data sets to demonstrate these effects. This paper presents seven cases showing the effects of complex reservoir flow conditions on the results obtained from production analysis with well testing.
