Abstract

With today’s current environment some companies may elect to shut in wells rather than produce at sub economic levels.  With this downside there is also a window of opportunity to gather important data which can be of significant value in future well operations and field development.

Information that can be obtained utilizing downhole pressure gauges during the downturn in an unconventional development utilizing horizontal wells include:

• Pressure Buildup Tests
  • Wellbore skin (pressure drop at the wellbore)
  • Well’s connectivity to the fracture system
• Pressure Interference Tests
  • Quantitative evaluation of communication between wells

Biography

Mark Murray joined Sage Rider in August 2019 as a Sr. Reservoir Engineering Advisor. He has 37 years of well-rounded petroleum engineering experience with emphasis in reservoir engineering in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs with primary focus on pressure analysis.  Prior to joining Sage Rider, he spent seven years with Pioneer Natural Resources working unconventional plays in south Texas and the Permian Basin. He has designed and analyzed all types of well tests for oil and gas reservoirs around the world including specialized unconventional reservoir testing, on-site drill stem test supervision, and has authored/presented well testing courses for both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Mr. Murray holds a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M University and is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
