Dynamic Well Testing in Petroleum Exploration and Development, Second Edition, describes the process of obtaining information about a reservoir through examining and analyzing the pressure-transient response caused by a change in production rate. The book provides the reader with modern petroleum exploration and well testing interpretation methods, including their basic theory and graph analysis. It emphasizes their applications to tested wells and reservoirs during the whole process of exploration and development under special geological and development conditions in oil and gas fields, taking reservoir research and performance analysis to a new level. This distinctive approach features extensive analysis and application of many pressure data plots acquired from well testing in China through advanced interpretation software that can be tailored to specific reservoir environments.Presents the latest research results of conventional and unconventional gas field dynamic well testingFocuses on advances in gas field dynamic well testing, including well testing techniques, well test interpretation models and theoretical developmentsIncludes more than 100 case studies and 250 illustrations-many in full color-that aid in the retention of key concepts
