CCT Model

The Closed Chamber Test (CCT) model follows all the same principles as a PITA model with the additional capability of changing the wellbore volume (Vw) to see reservoir-dominated flow more quickly. This is usually needed in low permeability (k) reservoirs, where a downhole shut-in is required to minimize wellbore storage and reduce the time required to achieve reservoir-dominated flow. In this case, a step-change in wellbore storage results when downhole shut-in occurs as shown in the following plot.
