..." for a completion and yet one of the most abused and assumed parameters. Field examples will highlight major errors that are likely to occur when post frac flow and buildup tests are analyzed for tight gas reservoirs without precise knowledge of the initial reservoir pressure. Furthermore, the paper...

... placement and/or borehole trajectory, with a view to minimizing drilling cost, are presented and some field case studies/field examples selected from literature are given. Limitations of some of these techniques are also discussed. Introduction Drilling of wells for optimal placement within the reservoir...

... to this, material-balance-time correction factors are quantified for both radial and linear transient flow regimes (this has not previously been done using the constant rate solution as the base model). Secondly, it serves to illustrate by synthetic and field examples, a comparison of material-balance-time against...
