The reservoirs of the Talara Basin are characterized in most cases by their low permeability; this makes it difficult to carry out conventional pressure tests, which puts challenges for formations evaluation and the productive behavior of the reservoirs; This makes it necessary for majority of the siliciclastic reservoirs in the Talara basin to be hydraulically fractured to obtain commercial production rates. This research work shows the technical principles and the methodology to design and carry out an analysis and interpretation, using the information available from pressure records in the tight reservoirs of a Northwest Peruvian field, either from Mini Fall Off tests and dynamics pressure monitoring during the production phase. This conveniently validated information can be used both to determine the properties of the reservoir under study, productivity index and, eventually, some geological features or boundary conditions. It should be noted that the inputs for the analysis of pressure tests in hydraulically fractured reservoirs are the Mini Fall Off tests, in order to identify flow regimes (from linear to radial flow), estimate reservoir pressure and effective permeability, as well as to eventually calculate the permeability of the post-frac system. For flowing wells, the analysis of transient flow rate (Rate Transient Analysis, RTA) is recommended when dynamic wellhead and/or bottomhole pressure data, as well as production rates, are available. With these data, it is possible to build a reservoir model, characterize the early time period, identify boundary conditions, and predict production behavior. For the thesis, pressure and production data from the Mogollon and Rio Bravo, reservoirs were utilized. These reservoirs have permeability ranges between 0.1 and 10 mD, and the data collected has sufficient quality to evaluate the reservoir characteristics under study. This data was used to construct a dynamic analytical model and predict the productive behavior. The Mini Fall Off tests allow estimating the properties of the tight reservoirs of the Mogollon and Rio Bravo formations. Original or partially depleted pressure conditions could be measured, as well as estimates of effective permeability below 1 mD. Additionally, half lengths between 70' and 100' were detected in most hydraulic fracturing jobs. On the other hand, in some cases, a naturally micro-fractured system was identified during an early time regime using RTA model with a reasonable match from the Fetkovich and Blasingame plots. This behavior explains the high productivity index and initial rate found in the hydraulic fracturing from the well Z-X17 of the Peña Negra field, where the RTA model shows a precise historical coincidence (95%) after a phase of two years production.
