Abstract Fractured vuggy carbonate reservoirs are highly heterogeneous and non-continuous, and contains not only erosion pores and fractures but also the vugs. Unfortunately, the current well test model cannot be used to analyze fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoirs, due to the limitations of actual geological characteristics. To solve the above-mentioned problem, a pressure transient analysis model for fracture-cavity carbonate reservoir with radial composite reservoir that the series multi-sacle fractures and caves exist and dual-porosity medium (fracture and erosion pore) is established in this paper, which is suitable for fractured vuggy reservoirs. Laplace transformation is used to alter and solve the mathematical model. The main fractures' linear flow and the radial flow of caves drainage area are solved by coupling. The pressure-transient curves of the bottomhole have been obtained with the numerical inversion algorithms. The typical curves for well test model which has been established are drawn, and flow periods are analyzed. The sensitivity analysis for different parameters is analyzed. The variation characteristic of typical curves is by the theoretical analysis. With the increasing of fracture length, the time of linear flow is increased. While the cave radius is the bigger, the convex and concave of the curve is the larger. As a field example, actual test data is analyzed by the established model. An efficient well test analysis model is developed, and it can be used to interpret the actual pressure data for fracture-cavity carbonate reservoirs.

Summary The principal focus of this work is on pressure-transient analysis of a finite-conductivity inclined fracture connected to a slanted wellbore, on the basis of a semianalytical model. Detailed analysis of unsteady-state pressure behavior of a fully penetrating inclined fracture in an infinite-slab reservoir was provided. The study has shown that a finite-conductivity inclined fracture may exhibit five flow regimes: bilinear flow, formation linear flow, early radial flow, compound linear flow, and pseudoradial flow. The characteristics of bilinear flow and formation linear flow are predominantly determined by fracture conductivity. In the case of a low formation-thickness/fracture-half-length ratio and small inclination angle, both early radial flow and compound linear flow may be absent. Analytical solutions for transient responses during different flow regimes are similar to that for a fully penetrating vertical fracture and can be correlated with the cosine of fracture-inclination angle with consideration of permeability anisotropy. Effect of inclination angle and reservoir-permeability anisotropy on transient responses is strong, which extends to pseudoradial-flow period. Formation thickness mainly influences the middle to late flow periods. In addition, the pseudoskin factor is also investigated in detail.
