Actual distributed temperature sensing (DTS) data and pressure data are received in response to a stimulation treatment applied to a hydrocarbon field. A pre-stimulation model is built that includes reservoir parameters, which generates simulated DTS and pressure data as a function of the reservoir parameters that include a permeability parameter and a skin parameter. In response to determining that a thermal match between the actual DTS and pressure data and the simulated DTS and pressure data is not obtained, the reservoir parameters are updated. In response to determining that the updated reservoir parameters do not match a performed pressure transient analysis (PTA), the reservoir parameters and the pre-stimulation model are updated, and the simulated DTS and pressure data are re-generated based on the updated pre-stimulation model.

Evaluating well stimulation to increase hydrocarbon production

A method can include receiving formation parameter values associated with a bore of a formation via a pressure transient analysis of a test performed by tubing that is operatively coupled to a tool that includes at least one pressure sensor. The method can include receiving a pressure stabilization value for fluid flow at a location in the bore of the formation. And, the method can include, based at least in part on the formation parameter values and the pressure stabilization value, calculating a skin factor value for the location in the bore.
