Pressure transient analysis for afterflow-dominated wells producing from a reservoir with a gas cap

A method for analyzing afterflow-dominated transient pressure buildup data from a partially penetrating well completed near a gas cap is developed. The gas cap modifies the middle-time regions of pressure curves in a manner such that conventional pressure buildup analysis no longer can be applied. For a damaged well, the method becomes nonunique and requires specification on the well damage to estimate the reservoir transmissibility. 5 refs.
