Abstract
Analysis of pressure drawdown/buildup data from the Phase I 45 day production/45 day shutin test indicates (1) the presence of a linear barrier at approximately 3,000 ft and (2) that the skin factor varies widely during the test. The linear barrier appears to correspond to a mapped growth fault. At present, we are unable to identify the physical mechanism responsible for the apparent variation of skin factor. The formation parameters derived from the buildup data have been employed in the MUSHRM simulator to successfully history match the Phase I pressure and flow data.
