Comparison of Conventional And Type Curve Analysis of Pressure Falloff Testing For A Carbonate Reservoir

This paper discusses the comparison of conventional transient analysis and type curve analysis (Hadinoto-Raghavan) in computing reservoir parameters for a West Texas carbonate reservoir using pressure falloff data taken from moderately fractured water injection wells. The theory and application of conventional analysis and type curve analysis to pressure falloff testing are discussed. Included are example calculations showing excellent agreement in computing water xf, using the two methods. formation capacity, kwh, and fracture length,
