Abstract

The present paper describes the fractional derivative use in a pressure transient data analysis with phase redistribution for fractal reservoir in a geological environment which is not possible by conventional methods. The application of pressure derivatives in pressure transient test data interpretation by reservoir engineers is common place since the work done by Bourdet et al. in 1989 on this subject. The analysis of such type of data in reservoir characterization is well known as inverse problem. The fractal geometry in a dynamic pressure transient tests data plays a vital role for heterogeneity characterization.
