The Study of New Method of Modern Well Testing By Using Surface Control

The accurate infonnation of the in-situ reservoir condition is very significant to every phase in petroleum engineering thus help the reservoir engineers to have better understanding on the reservoir and completion efficiency qualitatively and quantitatively. The analysis toward pressure data rec...
