Benefits of PanMesh™ Software

PanMesh software represents a significant step forward in the ability of engineers to reflect real geological structures and well completions in their well test analyses.

PanMesh software allows the user to import a map of the reservoir, draw up boundaries, which reflect true geological characteristics and orient the well in any direction and at any deviation through the reservoir. The software then automatically generates a finite element mesh from the inner boundary at the well out to the limits of the reservoir. This finite element mesh then is used to generate the pressure response against time throughout the reservoir which is displayed as a sequence of colored maps or sections as well as the traditional pressure and derivative plot display.

The benefits that this program brings are:

• The reservoir model reflects accurately the shape of the geological structure tested.
• The well completion and orientation is accurately modeled.
• Reservoir anisotropy can be incorporated into the model.
• Multiple layers and regions can be specified reflecting real geological complexity.
• Constant pressure and no-flow boundaries can be specified in the model.
• The ease of use and speed of workflow of traditional analysis methods are retained.
• Visualization of the pressure transient moving through the reservoir provides much clearer insight to pressure response features.

Following its second major release, this software is fundamentally changing the way well testing is performed and is rapidly being adopted by the industry.
