Well-test analysis in fluvial reservoirs remains a challenge because of the depositional environment conducive to significant internal heterogeneity. Analytical models used in conventional analysis are limited to simplified channel geometries and, therefore, fail to capture key parameters such as sand-body dimensions, orientations, and connectivity, which can affect control-fluid flow and pressure behavior. The complete paper aims at a better understanding of the effect of channel content in complex fluvial channel systems on well-test-derivative responses.
Methodology
Geological Modeling. 3D geological models with a centrally located well were generated and populated with varying fluvial geologies.
