Exercise #1 – Data Import & Preparation for Analysis:

1. Create a new file in WellTest and select Drawdown/Buildup as the test type.

2. Import the Pressure & Gas Rate data.

a. Pressure Data is located in: Exercise 1 - Bottomhole Pressures.csv. This file

contains pressures from 2 recorders. Import each set of pressure data separately
(ie import each into a separate gauge)

b. Rate Data is located in: Exercise 1 - Surface Rates.fld. Import only the gas rates.

3. Create a Calculated Dataset (Calculate Difference) to compare the two sets of pressure
data.

4. Create a New Plot which contains the two sets of Pressure Data and the Calculated
Dataset for comparison. Select which set of Pressure Data will be used for analysis.

5. Synchronize the Pressure & Gas Rate data

6. Merge the Pressure Data from one gauge with the Gas Rate Data and filter.

7. Transfer one set of Pressure Data and the Rate Data into the Production Editor

8. Remove any unnecessary data points (ie when running or pulling the pressure gauges)

9. Filter the data in the Production Editor.

Exercise #2 – PVT Properties & BHP Calculations

1. Select “Fluid Type” from the Wizard drop down menu and select “Gas” as the primary
fluid to use for Analysis/Modelling.

2. Filter the data in the Production Editor

3. Adjust the Measured Sandface Pressures to the MPP/Datum Depth:

Datum Depth = 6450 ft

Gauge Depth = 6430 ft
Fluid Gradient = 0.01 psi/ft

4. Specify the Reservoir Properties:

Reservoir Temperature (TR)= 150 °F

Gas Gravity (G) = 0.676

5. Create a new Diagnostic Analysis for a Vertical Wellbore. Once selected, a new tab
labelled “Diagnostic 1” is created.
Exercise #3 – Diagnostic Analysis

1. Navigate to the “Diagnostic 1” tab and enter the following reservoir parameters:

Formation Height (h) = 8.5 ft

Total Porosity (ϕt) = 20%
Water Saturation (Sw) = 35%

2. Specify the Flow Period to be analysed (final build-up)

3. Customize the Derivative, PPD and Δψ/q data sets for sparse plotting.

4. Check the Primary Pressure Derivative (PPD) to determine if any non-reservoir effects
were seen during the test.

5. Adjust the log cycle fraction used to calculate the derivative in order to reduce noise in
the derivative plot

6. Add the appropriate Analysis Lines to the Typecurve Plot to obtain the initial reservoir
parameter estimates for Permeability, Skin and Extrapolated Pressure.

Question:

1. What Flow Regimes did we see during this test?

2. Is there any other information we can get from our analysis? If so what?
Exercise #4 – Modeling & Forecasting

Modeling:

1. Create a new Vertical Model from the current Diagnostic Analysis (select Modeling from
the Wizard drop down menu)

2. Manually adjust the modeling parameter estimates for Permeability (k), Skin (sd),
Wellbore Storage Constant (CD), Reservoir Size (Xe, Ye) and Wellbore Location (Xw, Yw)
until a close match is obtained between the simulated and measured pressures.

3. Select the appropriate parameters to activate Automatic Parameter Estimation (APE)

by clicking the “Auto” check box beside the model parameter.

4. Click the “Auto” button in the “Plots” tab of the model to initial APE.

5. Confirm the validity of your model by comparing measured pressure with the pressures
generated with the model. A good model should match all historical drawdown/buildup
data.

Forecasting:

1. Select the “Forecast” tab in Vertical model you created. Click the “SHOW” button to the
left of the Forecast Plot to bring up the Forecast Parameters pop-up box.

2. Create a Bottomhole Pressure Forecast to compare the performance of the well with
and without a frac treatment.

Case 1: Bottomhole flowing pressure of 800 psi(a)

Case 2: Bottomhole flowing pressure of 800psi(a); Skin = -4

Would you frac this well?
