Lecture 5

The document describes the Odeh-Selig method for analyzing pressure buildup tests following variable rate production. The method defines modified production time and rate variables to account for multiple flow rates. An example problem applies the method to buildup data to determine effective permeability and initial reservoir pressure. A graph of the data analyzed with the Odeh-Selig and Horner methods shows the initial pressure is 3000 psia from the former and 3005 psia from the latter.

Pressure Buildup Test following a Multirate Production

Odeh-Selig Method

Odeh and Selig suggested that a buildup test following n


different rates could be analysed by a method similar to the Horner method
