Well test analysis, via measured flow and build-ups is a much neglected aspect of asset management for the typical independent producer. Well tests are often misunderstood and impossible to evaluate without a suite of very expensive software tools, and the training to go along with the proper implementation.

As in Reservoir Simulation, wellevaluations L.L.C. has made the financial and time commitments to purchase and implement the current state of the art software. Typical applications include:

• Wildcat discovery well analysis. Is the reservoir big enough to justify a pipeline or even completion?
• What are the anticipated producing rates for the well?
• Is there any skin damage?
• Is the well in communication with other wells in the area?
• What are the required flow and shut in periods for valid analysis?
• Is the flow experiencing boundary conditions?
