Abstract
Behavior of wellhead pressure immediately after injection of liquids or slurries in well completion and workover treatments can often indicate the success of the operation. Since the rate of wellhead pressure build-down after injection is related to the permeability of the exposed formation to the treating fluid, interpretation of success or failure of the fluid to communicate with the reservoir is possible. Treatments designed to plug-up or clean-out formation flow channels can both be evaluated. Early appreciation can speed completion and workover operations. An explanation of the phenomena of increasing bottomhole treating pressure during fracture-type treatments, and the change in it throughout the life of a well, will result in better understanding of basic fracturing mechanics. On-the-job observations of decreasing rate of pressure build-down after increments of stage squeeze cementing will help the well-site engineer to vary the volume of increments of slurry and the duration of each stage.
