Advances in well test analysis during the 1980's and 90'shave been associated with: (a) the use of pressure derivative plots, (b) the common availability of computer software for rapid graphical presentation, (c) the use of non-linear regression (automated type cure matching), (d) the availability of higher precision, high frequency data, both for pressure and flow rate, and (e) the development of new interpretation models, such as for horizontal wells, layered reservoirs and multiphase flow.

This book takes the form of a tutorial emphasizing these aspects of well test interpretation in this new computerized environment. During the book, emphasis is on problem solving, using computerized tools. A companion CD-ROM contains full listings of the data used in many of the examples, as well as a hypertext searchable version of the entire book (in the form of a Windows™ Multimedia Viewer title). A well test interpretation software program on the CD-ROM allows you to work with the example data yourself to learn more about how well test interpretation is achieved in practice.

5Well testing with a practical focus  Mar 18, 2006 By Leopoldo Farias
Most books on well testing are very academic oriented with abundant and laborious mathematical derivations and little or no indication of their use in the real world. This book by Horne is not like that. I am not a PhD student and very often do not have the time to go through lots of partial differential equations to find what I need. This is the only book on this topic which provides me quick indications of what to look at to do a quick evaluation of a well test.

Chapter 2 has no waste. It contains a very sharp and concise explanation of key concepts, the one you absolutely need to make sense of any well tests interpretation.

Chapter 4 is a remarkable one. All the adjustments needed to make suitable the previously derived equations for gas flow are explained in an expedite, clear manner. The main value of the chapter are solved exercises illustrating how to convert pressures to gas pseudopressures (m(p)).

Chapter 8 is perhaps the most valuable to assists quick look interpretation. It covers many worked examples covering from infinite reservoirs to fractured wells and dual porosity systems. Chapter 10 completes the loop with field examples showing horizontal well, damage wells and gas wells.

Horne presents well testing with a practical focus. Many other authors darken the subject with lots of detail and a great deal of complicated math. Horne misses absolutely nothing of importance, and his explanations are easy to follow and accompanied with helpful exercises.

On top of that, you find all I mentioned for 36 dollars, amazing value!.

5Well Test Analysis Done Well  Jan 23, 2009 By Michael J. Timlin III
Roland Horne 'wrote the book' on well test analysis. This book is also the course test for his popular courses that are taught at the collegiate and continuing levels.

The pressure transient analysis (PTA) principles derived and the examples discussed in this book are broadly applicable to all types of wells: water, oil, geothermal, and gas. If I've forgotten any types of fluids, they're covered, too.

Saphir (or an equivalent software product) can be used as you work through this text to gain the maximum learning.

5Excellent text  May 21, 2001
This book is an excellent well testing textbook. It is ideal for use in undergraduate and graduate classes as well as for practicing engineers. Anyone with an interest in well testing should have a copy of this book of his/her shelf.


4Good book for get basic knowledge  Aug 11, 2008 By J. R. Rendon
This book provides a good help for get a quick understanding of well test analysis specially for non reservoir engineers
