The Effects of Multiphase Flow on the Interpretation of Pressure Buildup Tests Academic Article

abstract

• SummaryA two-dimensional (2D), three-phase, variable-bubblepoint reservoir simulator was developed to simulate pressurebuildup tests involving multiple phases. The simulation indicated that nonuniform saturation distributions throughout the drainage area can cause erroneous interpretations when single liquid-phase techniques, as modified by the Perrine-Martin theory, are used for the analysis.
