System and methods of characterizing a hydrocarbon reservoir

A system for calculating characteristics of a hydrocarbon reservoir comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a display for displaying at least one graphical user interface (GUI);
• at least one user input device configured or designed to receive input for a user;
• and
• memory;
• the system being configured or designed to receive pressure data representing local pressure measurements obtained at one or more locations along at least one borehole traversing the hydrocarbon reservoir;
• the system being configured or designed to receive user input from a user via a first graphical user interface;
• the system being configured or designed to calculate based at least in part on the pressure data and the user input at least one of the following local characteristics:
• local permeability, local reservoir pressure, and local compressibility.
