3INTRODUCTION
4The tools of reservoir characterization are:
1 - FORMATION EVALUATION
(a) – PETROPHYSICS (Core Analysis + Well log Interpretation)
(b) - Well Test Analysis
(d) - MWD (Measuring While Drilling), and
(e) - Borehole Geophysics
2 – GEOSTATISTICS
3 - SEDIMENTOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION
4 - 3D SEISMICS, 4D
5 - RESERVOIR SIMULATION

6APPLICATIONS OF PRESSURE TRANSIENT TESTS
Productivity tests are conducted to:
1. Determine well deliverability
2. Characterize formation damage and other sources of skin effect
3. Identify produced fluids and determine their respective volume ratios
4. Measure reservoir pressure and temperature
5. Obtain representative fluid samples suitable for PVT analysis
6. Evaluate completion efficiency
7. Evaluate workover or stimulation treatments.
Descriptive reservoir tests are conducted to:
1. Assess reservoir extent and geometry
2. Determine hydraulic communication between wells
3. Characterize reservoir heterogeneities
4. Evaluate reservoir parameters.

BASIC WELL TEST SET-UPThe most basic equation to practically all pressure transient tests is the
diffusivity equation, which describes the radial flow of fluids through porous
media.
