Abstract

A mathematical model is presented which describes drawdown and buildup tests in hydraulically fractured wells. A new conventional and simple method of analysis based on this model is presented for drawdown and buildup tests in oil and gas wells. This new method uses a direct approach to analyze the linear flow data and combines it with the conventional analysis for pseudoradial flow data. The method predicts the fracture type, and is useful for the analysis of simultaneously measured downhole pressure and sandface rate data. The new method is illustrated by using it to analyze data of three well tests reported in the literature.
