On the use of pressure and tracer test data for reservoir description

This study compares well-to-well tracer test and transient pressure test responses in a 5-spot pattern with permeability variations to examine: (a) the sensitivity of test responses to the presence of heterogeneity, and (b) quantification of permeability variation from the analysis of well test data. The first part of this research deals with non-communicating layered systems. Analytical models are used to compute pressure and tracer flow behavior for several hypothetical systems. The second part deals with single-layer areally heterogeneous systems. A reservoir description procedure, based on the heterogeneity index and a combined analysis of pressure and tracer test data, is proposed. 79 refs., 46 figs., 10 tabs.
