Determination of Pressure-Transient and Productivity Data for Deviated Wells in Layered Reservoirs

Abstract

Summary Analytical methods are presented to determine pressure-transient and productivity data for deviated wells in layered reservoirs. The computational methods, which are based on Laplace transforms, can be used to generate types curves for use in direct analyses of pressure-transient data and to determine the effective skin of such wells for use in productivity computations.
