Continuous down hole data in conjunction with reservoir analysis tools that work with this data have the potential to revolutionize the accuracy of reservoir management.

The economic value of continuous down hole pressure data and the array of available options justify the use of these systems in almost all petroleum reservoir developments, regardless of size or complexity.

With these tools, reservoirs can be accurately managed early in the producing life, which optimizes both short and long term reservoir management strategies:

Maximizing Profitability in Reservoirs Using New Technologies For Continuous Downhole Pressure Systems

This paper documents the process and results of a study that involved mapping, gridding, geostatistics and reservoir simulation of an exploration prospect while the drilling rig was on-site. It demonstrates the feasibility of using PC-based reservoir simulation as a routine part of reservoir management, beginning with the exploration well:
