Transient Pressure Testing

Transient pressure testing records the pressure measurements as a function of time, in the wellbore at the productive interval, after the flow rate of the well is changed. They form the basis for well test analysis and are primarily used for determining the properties of the reservoir rock, skin effect and reservoir boundaries.
