The Digitizer was set up as a 7 step process. The following web pages will walk the
user through each step to load a DST Pressure vs. Time Plot into the digitizer dialog.
To set the data collection areas and to digitize and normalize the shut in pressure
temperature and time data for the Horner Plot & quantitative analysis dialog.
Note: The DST Pressure vs. Time must be a PNG (Portable Network Graphics),
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) or GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) image file.
Step 1 Loading DST Pressure vs. Time Plot Image.
NOTE: Must be a PNG (Portable Network Graphics), JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
or GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) image file.
Step 2 Check data axis orientation - Time is
horizontal axis and Temperature and Pressure are vertical axis, which is the default
radio buttons selection in the "(2) Set the Axis Direction" Panel.
Step 3 Set Minimum & Maximum Capture Areas -
This step sets up the digitizer capture area to compute the Pressure-Temperature-Time
digitized data values.
Step 4 Add Pressure Summary Data -
This step allows the user to enter Pressure-Temperature-Time Data that
will allow the user to measure the "goodness" of the capture areas.
Step 5 Digitize Data -
This step allows the user to enter each shut in curve into the program.
Step 6 Normalize Data -
Compute the Pressure-Temperature-Time Data at specific Time spacing.
Step 7 Transfer Data -
Move the Pressure-Temperature-Time Data to the DST Data Entry Dialog.
