Analysis Report AP-070

Page4 of28

This report discusses the analyses of hydraulic tests performed in the Culebra Dolomite Member ( Culebra) of the Rustler Formation (Figure 1) at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) site at the H-10 well pad (Figure 2). These analyses were performed in accordance with the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Analysis Plan for Hydraulic-Test Interpretations, AP-070, Revision 2 (Beauheim, 2009). The computer code used for analysis was nSIGHTS (n-dimensional Statistical Inverse Graphical Hydraulic Test Simulator), version 2.50. A detailed description of the approach followed in these analyses can be found in Beauheim et al. (1993, Appendix B) and Roberts et al. (1999, Chapter 6).

2. Test and Analysis Procedures

Analysis Report AP-070

Page 5 of28

A 72-hour constant rate pumping test was performed on well H-lOcR from July 24 to 27, 2017. The location of the H- lOcR well pad in the WIPP well network is shown in Figure 2. The well had been subject to approximately a year of development prior to this test through 14 separate purges. The test produced 1525 gallons of brine.

The main objective of this analysis is to estimate formation transmissivity (1) for subsequent use in T-field generation and WIPP performance assessment calculations. Test analysis involved finding the values of the fitting parameters that produced the best-simulated matches to the pressure data collected during the constant-rate pumping test and its subsequent recovery period. The nSIGHTS test simulation incorporated pre-test pressure records as "history" periods where the observed pressures were specified in the simulations. In addition to the formation properties of interest (principally T and storativity (S)), wellbore skin was also included as a fitting parameter in the pumping-test analyses · so that nSIGHTS could better match the early pressure response observed during the test.

The uncertainty quantification method applied to the analyses in this report is an informal process referred to as perturbation analysis. In this process, preliminary analyses are performed in which a reasonable model-data fit (i.e., a reasonably small value of the objective function) is obtained to the specified constraints defined in the nPre configuration file. The resulting values of the fitting parameters are the baseline solution set - a single value for each fitting parameter that provides a satisfactory fit to the data (satfafactory being a judgment call on the part of the analyst). Perturbation analysis begins by assigning a range for further guesses in parameter space surrounding the analyst-provided baseline solution set. These parameter ranges are listed in Appendix B. Starting at the baseline value, the model parameters are randomly perturbed within their assigned ranges and a simplex optimization is performed from each of these random starting points. The objective of perturbation analysis is to sample the parameter space surrounding the analyst-provided baseline solution set to better understand the nature of model­data fit in this portion of the parameter space. The minimum in the explored parameter space that provides the best fit to the data, measured in terms of the smallest sum of squared errors (SSE), is assumed to be the global minimum for the current conceptual model, and other minima are referred to as local minima. Local niinima are effectively localized depressions in the objective function "topography" that trap the simplex algorithm during its attempt to find the global minimum - the smallest SSE. If multiple data types with different physical units are included in the match (e.g., if pressures and pressure derivatives are matched simultaneously), then the SSE values for each component are weighted and combined and the overall objective function is denoted in nSIGHTS as the fit value.

Five hundred perturbation/optimization runs were performed for each of the analyses discussed in this report. A visual assessment of parameter-space plots for each fitting variable and a visual assessment of the fits themselves were all used to determine the value of the "fit discriminant". The fit discriminant is used to reduce the perturbations under consideration to only those within the best-fit minimum, and sufficiently close to be subjectively considered "acceptable" fits. All perturbation results for which the fit value was less than the fit discriminant were deemed acceptable solutions and are included in the final range of reported values for each fitting

Discussions of H-1 OcR and associated test analyses are given below. A summary of the best T estimates obtained from perturbation analysis of each test is shown in Table 1.

3.1. H-10cR

A physical description of the H-1 OcR well is detailed in Figure 3. The well is a 11" reamed bore hole with a 5.5'' OD (5.125" ID) casing slotted in the Culebra. The constant-rate pumping test of the well was made possible using a 3-phase pump, a variable frequency drive, and a DAS system aboard the testing trailer. This system enacted and maintained a constant pumping rate in the well.

Fourteen purges were previously conducted in H-lOcR between March 1, 2016 and May 3, 2017. Hydraulic testing of the Culebra at H-lOcR was conducted over three days from July 24 to 27, 2017 using a constant flowrate of 0.35 gpm. Pressure changes were logged using two pressure transducers; one polling at 15-minute intervals and one polling at 1-minute intervals. Flow rate was recorded by the DAS at 5-second intervals. We experienced transducer-based problems with the transducer poling at I-minute intervals. Subsequently, we did not get good testing coverage during intermittent portions of the test. Data from both transducers was integrated into a single pressure profile to represent and subsequently model pressure change in the well during testing.

The H-lOcR nSIGHTS constant-rate pumping test and recovery simulations consisted of a history sequence, a drawdown sequence, and a recovery sequence chronologically in that order. Pressure-derivative diagnostics of the drawdown and Bourdet-derivative diagnostics of the recovery were used to better fit and understand the data. The details of each sequence (i.e.,

start/end time, pressure, etc.) are specified in the H-lOcR.nPre files and are listed in Appendix B.l. Investigation of the drawdown response showed distinctive rate changes we assume are attributed to the incomplete development of the well. Subsequently, transmissivity changed over time as, presumably, sediment or filter pack material was loosed from the formation and/or screened portion of the well. The initial models used to fit the data considered a simple system of single T and S with and without skin effects. These models did not adequately fit the data. Secondary attempts to model the data to account for changing transmissivity (Tr) included changing skin transmissivity as a function of time or pressure. Skin transmissivity proved to be a very sensitive parameter when a single value was used; using multiple values produced a model that would not converge.

To model the changing T, a model that used an infinite-acting, radial systems with a variable T values as a function of time, wellbore storage, and a negative skin. The T(t) values of the model were designated T1 to Ts, chronologically. The specified H-lOcR conceptual model was chosen because it was the simplest model consistent with the available information that produced an acceptable fit to the data; acceptable by consensus of the modeler. A comparison of the model fit of the Tr model and simplest, single T model are shown in Figure 3. Table 2 describes the time ranges for each T, value. The resulting model parameter estimates required only subtle changes in the T estimate to adequately fit the data. A sand pack surrounding the screened portion of the well, and the possible presence of a fractured or damaged zone in the formation surrounding the well still warranted the inclusion of skin effects into the model especially given the low T of the well.
