We have successfully used the surface acquired pressure data to influence both operational decisions and reservoir interpretations. The ability to provide low cost continuous drawdown information has been very helpful in ...

Communication Tests
Communication tests are used to determine if two wells are producing from the same reservoir.
The flow from one of the two wells is interrupted while the pressure in the second well is monitored for a detectable pressure response. The time required to observe a pressure response is a function of the magnitude of the pressure pulse generated, the distance between the wells, the permeability of the reservoir, and the resolution of the pressure gauge. A communication test that requires 100 hours using a gauge with 1-psi resolution, requires only 6 hours using the SPIDR with 0.01-psi resolution. No external transducers are required for this test. The SPIDR is installed as shown on the left.

Communication Testing relies on changes in pressure at one location producing measurable pressures changes at the second location. The most common communication tests used in the production of oil and gas are the Interference Test and the Pulse Test.
Interference Testing
Interference Tests are used to determine if two wells are producing from the same reservoir. When two wells are known to be in the same reservoir, the Interference Test can be used to measure the reservoir permeability ... read more
