ABSTRACT
I n a "slug t e s t ," a f i n i t e amount of l i q u i d i s removed suddenly from
a s t a t i c w e l l , causing a p e r t u r b a t i o n which can be used t o o b t a i n informa-
t i o n on t h e r e s e r v o i r . I d e a l l y , t h e wel lbore l i q u i d would s t a r t t o move
up t h e w e l l t o r e p l a c e t h e removed l i q u i d , r each a maximum v e l o c i t y , then
begin t o d e c e l e r a t e as t h e l i q u i d level approaches t h e i n i t i a l s t a t i c
l i q u i d level. This is a u s e f u l method as a short- t ime w e l l test . The
s o l u t i o n f o r t h i s problem i s o l d , and t h e problem has been inves t iga t ed by
many people. However, t h e s o l u t i o n s a v a i l a b l e thus f a r do n o t r i go rous ly
inc lude t h e i n e r t i a l e f f e c t of movement of t h e l i q u i d i n t h e wel lbore , and
do n o t exp la in p re s su re o s c i l l a t i o n s a n d l i q u i d level f l u c t u a t i o n s i n t h e
wel lbore completely. I n e r t i a de l ays t h e s tart of movement of t h e wel lbore
l i q u i d , and momentum can cause i t t o eject above t h e f i n a l s t a t i c level .
O s c i l l a t i o n s i n p re s su re and l i q u i d l e v e l may r e s u l t .
Actua l ly , t h i s kind of problem can be involved i n t h e s t a r t of l i q -
u id production f o r a l l w e l l s , and i n t h e shut- in of h igh- ra te water in j ec-
t i o n w e l l s . It i s a l s o important t o d r i l l s t e m t e s t i n g of l i q u i d producing
format ions.
I n t h i s s tudy , a new and complete s o l u t i o n f o r t h i s problem i s ob-
ta ined and t h e e f f e c t s of important parameters are i n v e s t i g a t e d . A f i n i t e
d i f f e r e n c e s o l u t i o n w a s a l s o prepared and used t o s tudy t h i s c lass of

As a summary of this section, the investigation radius depends on the
dimensionless wellbore storage constant, (+,, and is not affected by the
dimensionless number, a, or the skin factor, s, as much. The main pressure
drops often lie in the region less than 100 r distant from the well pro*
duced . W
2-2-4.5 Batch Injections
The solution presented in this study is not only for drawdown cases,
but also applies for sudden batch injection cases.
the dimensionless liquid level in the wellbore, 5, the fact that the initial dimensionless liquid level in the wellbore, %(O), is always -1,
as shown in Section 2-1, is also true for injection tests. However, the
actual initial liquid level in the wellbore, x(O), is negative for the
drawdown case and is positive for the injection case.
From the definition of
