Convolution Explorer

Convolution Explorer (ConvEx) is a software tool for analysis of dynamic behavior of oil and gas reservoirs.  This is a multi-well Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) tool that can also be used for analysis of single well pressure and rate data.  Convolution Explorer can be used for analysis of relatively short exploration and appraisal well tests as well as for analysis of long term surveillance pressure and rate data obtained in the course of routine production operations.  Such analysis may help in understanding geometry of fluid flow in the reservoir, reservoir connectivity across the field, large scale reservoir heterogeneities, provide estimates of reservoir rock and well properties.  It can also yield information regarding the reservoir volume supported by reservoir dynamic pressure and rate data.

Convolution Explorer: What Is It?

Convolution Explorer implements a form of pressure-rate deconvolution analysis.  However, it does it in a robust way and does not rely on automatic pressure-rate deconvolution algorithms that are prone to all kinds of limitations and problems.  This is an analysis tool intended for experienced engineers with expertise and knowledge of pressure transient analysis.  At the same time, Convolution Explorer is a great teaching tool that due to its highly interactive nature rapidly builds engineer's knowledge and expertise in dynamic reservoir and well behavior.  If you wish to evaluate this tool for your own use please Register   to obtain a copy and get access to this software tool.

For an experienced reservoir engineer knowledgeable in Pressure Transient Analysis, the Convolution Explorer Application does not require any specialized training.  Sufficiently detailed help facility which is a part of application interface allows one to learn how to use the application and master it on his/her own.
