Abstract

This paper examines the effect of a mud-filtrate-invaded zone on pressure transients from multiprobe/packer-probe wireline formation testers (WFTs). Invasion zones are modeled as composite zones concentric with the wellbore that have different rock and fluid properties (permeability, porosity, viscosity, and compressibility) from those of the native uninvaded formation.
