25. Multiphase Transport Properties
from Petrophysics and WFT
• WFT sampling operation provides
bottom-hole pressure and water-
cut data
• Multi-depth resistivity logs provide
invasion profile (electromagnetic-
EM modeling)
• A numerical model determines
multiphase flow properties in an
inversion workflow

water cut match

33. Concluding Remarks
Reservoir and Fluid Characterization with Formation Testers:
Reducing Asset Uncertainties
Pressure, fluid analysis, transient test results and stress
tests are seamlessly getting integrated into RE software
and workflows
Advanced downhole sensors will be included
New Generation tools are emerging with more
capabilities
Transient testing capabilities are improved, reducing
risks in reservoir evaluation
