Well Performance
• Also known as: Well Testing
Pressure Transient Testing
Reservoir Testing
• Well testing generally refers to generating and measuring pressure variations with time in wells, and using this information to estimate rock, fluid and well properties
• Powerful reservoir description tool. Essential for analysis and improvement of reservoir performance
Classification
• Productivity well testing
• Descriptive well testing

Productivity Testing
Inflow Performance
• Inflow from Reservoir to Well
• Performance depends on
reservoir and fluid properties:
– Reservoir pressure
– Permeability
– Viscosity
– Bottom hole pressure
• The well can deliver only what
the reservoir provides

Inflow Performance
• Inflow performance is usually
expressed in terms of flow rate
versus drawdown pressure or rate
versus bottom-hole pressure
• For single-phase liquids, flow rate
is proportional to drawdown
pressure.
• For gases and gas-liquid systems,
flow rate is not necessarily
proportional to drawdown

Inflow Performance
(Liquid)
• q = PI (Pres – Pw)
• PI is the Productivity Index,
which depends on
– Reservoir permeability
– Net thickness
– Drainage area
– Fluid properties
– Well damage or stimulation
