Abstract

"This paper describes a new technique for pulse test analysis that combines the simplicity of the tangent method with the result repeatability of the iterative methods. Inflection points are used instead of time lag with the added advantage that they are calculated by a simple algorithm and are not subject to graphical misinterpretation. Charts are made for the calculation of transmissibility and storage for unequal pulse and shut-in periods from 0.1 to 0.9 relating inflection time to pulse response amplitude and dimensionless inflection time.

The graphs presented for this technique have the same dimensionless cycle period ranges (from 0.44 to 7.04) as the charts presented by Kamal et al.1 and revised by Al-Khalifah et al .2 . Also, it avoids the necessity of an initial guess and the possibility of non-convergence of the iterative methods. A field case is presented to verify the validity of the proposed method. Furthermore, an automated interpretation is possible for the previously described relationship by adequate interpolation among the points generated by the algorithm"-- Abstract, p. ii
