Unconventional Reservoirs: Rate and Pressure Transient Analysis Techniques: A Reservoir Engineering Approach

Rate and pressure transient analysis (RTA and PTA) are techniques for evaluating petroleum reservoir properties, particularly in shale and tight reservoirs. They use dynamic data to determine permeability, original hydrocarbon in-place, and hydrocarbon recovery. The book provides an overview of these techniques, using illustrations, schematic views, and mathematical formulations.

This comprehensive book offers a concise yet thorough exploration of the application of rate and pressure transient analysis in unconventional petroleum reservoirs. It begins by providing an introduction to unconventional reservoirs, encompassing their unique production challenges and the potential benefits derived from employing rate and pressure analysis methods.

Rate transient analysis (RTA) and pressure transient analysis (PTA) are powerful techniques employed to evaluate various petroleum reservoir properties, including permeability, original hydrocarbon in-place, and hydrocarbon recovery. The brief delves into the detailed description, classification, and application of both RTA and PTA in shale and tight reservoirs.

To enhance understanding, authors have employed a combination of illustrations, schematic views, mathematical formulations, and code programs. These resources effectively convey the practical implementation of RTA and PTA in complex petroleum systems, making the content accessible to academics, reservoir engineers, and graduate students alike.

By comprehensively covering the subject matter, this brief serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to gain insights into the field of rate and pressure transient analysis in unconventional petroleum reservoirs.
