The discovery of WFT technique started way back then over a decade from nowadays. WFT technique in
dynamic test create a debate and argument among the oil and gas industry on how reliable of this system
to do a well testing with only formation evaluation data. As years goes by, WFT develop as standard in
pressure measurement due to consistency compared to drill stem test (Proett, Seifert, Chin & Sands,
2004). Standard WFT The standard WFT tools had limitation when us at low permeability and high
viscosity of oil but with new modern WFT tool will increased the scope of lower permeability to 1 mD and
viscosity as high as 1000 cp. Apart from that, WFT tools are inexpensive, safer, and have improved ability
to obtain clean samples and to estimate permeability
Another dynamic test available in recent technology is tracer test. Basically tracer test used mainly
in reservoir characterization and description that will help to choose effective production strategy. One
of drawback using tracer in early development is toward environmental. Some of the tracer used
radioactive source that harm that not environmentally friendly. But the development of tracer overcome
that issue by creating non-radioactive sources of tracer. These modern tracers have become industry
standards and are used in field operations throughout the world. Based on (Petrowiki,2018) study, In the
last 50 years, many tracer studies have been reported and even more have been carried out without being
published in the open literature and also pointed out six areas in which tracers could be used as a tool to
improve the reservoir description which is volumetric sweep, Identification of offending injectors,
Directional flow trends, Delineation of flow barriers, Relative velocities of injected fluids, Evaluations of
sweep-improvement treatments.
Well test is another dynamic reservoir test for estimating the permeability and porosity by
matching the dynamic behavior. The dynamic data can be extracted either by filed measurement from
well test, production history or other correlated data. The information originating from well testing,
pressure shut-in surveys, production history, bottom hole pressure from permanent gauges, water-cut,
and gas-oil ratio (GOR) can be classified as dynamic. Based on the theory stated by Landa & Horne,1997),
in the work of physical system under study is a reservoir. The following fundamental laws are relevant to
the dynamics of the reservoir are mass conversion law, Darcy’s law, equation of state, and relative
permeability.
