Pressure Draw Down Test

Drawdown test has been conducted in an exploration well for 30 hrs

Before the drawdown test well was shut in at the shut in pressure of 3900 psi

The discovery well in an oil reservoir was tested at production rates and duration shown in Table 11.5.
The well was then shut in for a buildup test. The pressures versus time data recorded during the shut-
in period are shown in Table 11.6. If the flowing bottomhole pressure of the well before it was shut
in was 3600 psia. Calculate 1. tp, 2. formation permeability, 3. initial reservoir pressure, and 4. skin factor of
the well from the buildup test data, 5. Its Reservoir's (Dietz) shape Other reservoir and fluid properties data are given as follows:
