Late-Pseudoradial Flow: The late-pseudoradial flow occurs when the wellbore is relatively short compared to thew length of the

drainage area.The late-pseudoradial flow occurs only if Lw/bH<0.45 here Lw is the completed length of the well and bH is the dimension of the rese rvoir parallel to the wellbore as shown in the fig: The governing equation for late-pseudoradial flow is The start of this flow period occurs when fluid flows from the well beyond the e nds of the wellbore as shown in the below fig:

It is approximated with the equation: Notice that this starting time depends on the completed length of the well Lw an d on the permeability in the direction of the well,Ky. The end of this period,like others in this section,is approximated by the minimu m of the results of two calculations and in the following fig. it has been shown that how the horizontal boundary effects begin to affect pressures and radial f low pattern ends. The first result which shows the end of this flow,depends on dy,the shortes t distance from the end of the well to a boundary and the length of the wellbore Lw with Ky,the permeability in the direction parallel to the wellbore..It is re presented as: The other equation gives a time at which the radial flow pattern begins to be di storted depending on the shortest distance,dx,from the well to a boundary perpen dicular to the wellbore,and on Kx,the permeability in that direction as shown in fig: The following equation shows in which late-pseudoradial flow effects can end wit h effects of boundaries perpendicular to the wellbore. Whenever boundary effects first appear whether in a direction that is parallel t o the well or perpendicular to the axis of the well, the late-pseudoradial flow period will end. The diagnostic plot helps us identify the late-pseudoradial flow regime with the characteristic horizontal derivative as shown in the following fig.

.For data in the appropriate time range, we prepare a semi-log plot of pressure against time for a drawdown test, (PICTURE OF PWF VS TIME) The slope of this plot will be mprf, and the relationship between that slope and the square root of KxKy,or the permeabilities in the horizontal plane, is given We can also find the damage skin for which we have an equation as: Here Sc is the convergence skin and the total skin depends on P1hr.

For a buildup test preceded by production at a single rate, we plot pressure aga inst the Horner time ratio on a semi-log graph. Permeability is calculated by th e above given equation, the same as for a drawdown test. The skin equation is ba sically the same as for a drawdown test, except that P1hr is now P1hr-Pwf. To obtain P*, original reservoir pressure, we extrapolate the semilog line to a Horner time ratio of unity. Semi-log plots of buildup test data from the late pseudo-radial flow regime cann ot be analyzed rigorously with a Horner plot unless pressure at (tp+ t) and the pre ssure obtained at time t are simultaneously in the pseudo-radial flow regime, whic h is highly unlikely. However, little error appears if the producing time before shut-in is much greater than the maximum shut-in time achieved on the buildup t est.
