Summary
This work presents new semilog type curves for analyzing data obtained at a restricted-entry well completed in a multilayer reservoir where crossflow occurs between reservoir layers. Use of the new type curves along with standard semilog analysis of pseudoradial-flow pressure data makes possible a complete analysis of pressure data. Specifically, standard semilog analysis of pseudoradial-flow pressure data yields estimates of the total flow capacity and the total skin factor. The new type curves can then be used to estimate the real mechanical skin factor resulting from damage or stimulation, the flow capacity adjacent to the open (perforated) interval, and the effective average vertical permeability.
