Pressure transients in wellbores : water hammer effects and implications for fracture diagnostics
A pressure transient is generated when a sudden change in injection rate occurs due to a valve closure or injector shutdown. This pressure transient, referred to as a water hammer, travels down the wellbore, is reflected back and induces a series of pressure pulses on the sand face. This study prese...
