Well Test Analysis

The SORL works to improve the models used in well test analysis. New areas such as the application of wavelet analysis to well test interpretation are currently explored. We look into improving the analytical solutions of the radial diffusivity equation describing the flow of fluids in porous media as well as enhancing the methods of estimating reservoir/well parameters obtainable from well test data. Applications to homogeneous, radial-composite and dual-porosity reservoirs are considered in our study.
