Application of Interference Tests in Optimization Of the Productivity Index for an Oil Field

Abstract

Interference Tests is a Well test operation which allows to characterize the connectivity between the producing wells and the injector wells for a Block or oil field. The analytical principle of these tests is based on the selective opening and closing of a certain number of producing wells assisted by a Characterized injection of the injector wells, with the aim of determining the impact of these manipulations on production. The results of the interference well tests are directly linked to the number of open wells and the duration of each opening. In the exploitation phase, the productivity index of the oil field can be optimized following the proper application of the data obtained in the interference well test.
