Early Estimation of Gas Well Reserves Using BHP Buildup and Drawdown Data

Presenters

James T. Rodgers, Pan American Petroleum Corporation

This paper presents field procedure, calculation techniques, and results of two gas well reserve tests utilizing bottom hole pressure drawdown and buildup data obtained with short duration production testing immediately after initial completion. Results of tests are compared with reserves indicated by subsequent pressure-cumulative performance. Both wells were gas discoveries in one-well reservoirs with extremely limited reserves.
