Deconvolutional Formation Pressure
Deconvolutional Formation Pressure (DFP) is an advanced method for estimating reservoir pressure, based on the correlation between multiwell pressure and production rate data. The approach enables estimation of current reservoir pressure and supports development analysis without the need for shut-ins or additional field activity.
DFP reconstructs reservoir pressure history at any location within the cross-well interval by processing background pressure variations through a multi-scenario interference model. Rather than physically shutting in wells, the method virtually deactivates individual wells within the model, allowing evaluation of pressure behaviour and cross-well response under uninterrupted production conditions.
