Desarrollo de una herramienta informática para el análisis e interpretación de pruebas de presión transitorias: desarrollo de una herramienta informática para la interpretación y análisis de pruebas de presión transitorias utilizando curvas tipo.

Abstract

As time progresses, we are more and more immersed in the need to streamline and optimize procedures that help understanding and teaching during academic training, that is why this project of curricular integration was carried out with the purpose of developing a software for academic use, which allows the analysis and interpretation of transient pressure tests using modern methods such as type curves. This tool was developed for the analysis and interpretation of transient pressure tests of type: Build Up, Drawdown and FallOff test, which allow obtaining information of the well and reservoir conditions. The computer tool was developed by coding, executing, and testing algorithms in the programming and numerical calculation platform “MATLAB”. To check the validity of the tool, transient pressure test data from five real wells of Ecuador and two pressure tests obtained from the books of Chaudhry and Lee et al., which were analyzed in a commercial software (WellTest) and in the software, thus comparing their results.
