Numerical 3D near – wellbore model
for unconventional well testing
Alternatives to conventional well testing can reduce or eliminate safety issues, environmental constraints, and potential revenue loss. However, they pose some additional difficulties in pressure data interpretation.
Aquilon can simulate production and injection from vertical wells drilled in anisotropic and heterogeneous reservoirs. Fluids injection or production can be imposed along the entire thickness of the reservoir or through restricted intervals, as in the case of partial penetration or perforation and of mini – DST. Thermal exchange, capillary forces, gravitational effects, and diffusion phenomena are all taken into account.
