Abstract

To minimize risks according to the current state of reservoir pressure while planning well intervention operations, authors propose the multi-tank material balance method to determine the dynamics of reservoir pressure in the well drainage area. The method is based on using well test results and information on historical production and injection rates. The method is applicable under conditions where number and frequency of well tests are limited.
