Abstract

A method for evaluating the permeability and formation damage in the porous rock around a well bore. This method relates to the use of a single string coiled tubing and a down hole assembly which includes a microcontroller, an electrically operable fluid control valve and electrically operable pressure sensing devices which allow for real time pressure transient analysis techniques before, during and after formation stimulation treatments.
