Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for generating a detailed heterogeneities map of a main reservoir. Pressure data for multiple wells of a main reservoir is received during a simultaneous field shut-in of the multiple wells. A scaled rate of change of pressure for each well is determined using the pressure data for each well. Rates of change of pressure for the multiple wells are plotted using the scaled rates of change of pressure. Clusters of wells having rates of change of pressure within a threshold difference of other wells in a given cluster are determined based on the plotting. A detailed heterogeneities map of the main reservoir is generated based the clusters of wells. The heterogeneities map defines heterogeneous regions. Each region contains a set of wells assigned to the heterogeneous region based on the wells having similar rates of change of pressure.
