Abstract
The diffusivity equation is a partial differential equation (PDE) which can be used for fluid flow modeling in porous media. Determining reservoir parameters from pressure data (i.e., pressure transient analysis) is one of the most important steps in the process of field development. This initial evaluation can be used to make decisions about future developments. Wireline Formation Testing (WFT) is one of the most popular techniques for parameter estimation and has received significant attention in recent years. The main problem plaguing WFT is a phenomenon known as the “supercharging effect,” which essentially refers to mud invasion, and this, in turn, alters pressure distribution across the system.
