Abstract

Systems, methods, and media for processing formation pressure test data are provided. The method includes determining using a processor, a plurality of regressions for measurements of the formation pressure test data, and determining that two or more of the plurality of regressions represent a fluid code. The method also includes combining the two or more of the plurality of regressions representing the fluid code to generate a first fluid-type regression, and combining two or more other ones of the plurality of regressions representing a second fluid code to generate a second fluid-type regression. The method further includes determining that the first fluid-type regression and the second fluid-type regression are in a first hydraulic zone, and calculating a location of a boundary between the first fluid-type regression and the second fluid-type regression by extrapolating the first and second fluid-type regressions to a point of intersection therebetween.
