Abstract

Improved systematic inversion methodology applied to formation testing data interpretation with spherical, radial and/or cylindrical flow models is disclosed. A method of determining a flow line parameter includes determining a diverse set of flow models and selecting at least one flow model from the diverse set of flow models representative, at least in part, of a formation tester tool, at least one formation, at least one fluid, and at least one flow of the at least one fluid. The method further includes lowering the formation testing tool into the at least one formation to intersect with the formation at least one formation and sealing a probe of the formation tester placed in fluid communication with the at least one formation. The method further includes initiating flow from the at least one formation and utilizing the at least one selected flow model to predict the flow line parameter.
