.... Therefore, they should always be characterised as separate units. RFT data provides valuable information on the reservoir pressure for each layer also normal pressure surveys (Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) and or a static / flowing wellbore pressure surveys) provide valuable information about...

... analyses. In this paper the usefulness of understanding ‘abnormal’ RFT data from a producing field is presented, together with a proposed methodology to estimate in-situ vertical permeability through matching RFT data under dynamic conditions. An ‘abnormal’ vertical pressure gradient (twice the expected...
