INTRODUCTION
During the last few years, there has been an explosion of information in the field of well test analysis. Because of increased physical understanding of transient fluid flow, the entire pressure history of a well test can be analyzed, not just long-time data as in conventional analysis.! It is now often possible to specify the time of beginning of the correct semilog straight line and determine whether the correct straight line has been properly identified. It is also possible to identify wellbore storage effects and the nature of wellbore stimulation as to permeability improvement, or fracturing, and perform quantitative analyses of these effects.
These benefits were brought about in the main by attempts to understand the short-time pressure data from well testing, data which were often classified as too complex for analysis. One recent study of short-time pressure behavior2 showed that it was important to specify the physical nature of the stimulation in consideration of stimulated well behavior. That is, statement of the van Everdingen-Hurst infinitesimal skin effect as negative was not sufficient to define short-time well behavior. For instance, acidized {but not acid fraced) and hydraulically fractured wells did not necessarily have the same behavior at early times, even though they might possess the same value of negative skin effect.
