Pressure Transient Analysis Using Generated Well Test Data from Simulation of Selected Wells in Norne Field
Several types of transient well testing in Norne field are presented in this thesis. One production well from each segment in Norne field was participated in different type of test. The well test data of all cases were generated from reservoir simulation. It allows flexibility in modifying reservoir...

Several types of transient well testing in Norne field are presented in this thesis. One production well from each segment in Norne field was participated in different type of test. The well test data of all cases were generated from reservoir simulation. It allows flexibility in modifying reservoir model condition to understand different behavior of pressure response. The tests were first started by producing the well at a constant rate for 10 days, and then shutting-in the well for at least 24 hours. The importance of reservoir model grid refinement, determination of reservoir communication across the fault, and the complexity of horizontal well test analysis are the three main discussions in this thesis work.Series of buildup tests at well D-1H in C-Segment were performed to recognize the significance level of Local Grid Refinement (LGR) near the wellbore.
