The Definition of Transmissive-Dominated Hydraulic Units (THU) and Storage-Dominated Hydraulic Units (SHU) and Their Role in the Understanding of Reservoir Dynamics

L-19 THE DEFINITION OF TRANSMISSIVE- DOMINATED HYDRAULIC UNITS (THU) AND STORAGE-DOMINATED HYDRAULIC UNITS (SHU) AND THEIR ROLE IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF RESERVOIR DYNAMICS Abstract 1 Two techniques in petrophysics have been combined for the first time to produce a description of the rock that links primary texture through to well test response. The method is proposed as a new approach to dynamic reservoir characterisation and is illustrated for two North African clastic reservoir examples.
