Computer Generation of Type Curves

Abstract/Contents

Abstract
Type curves are a useful tool for analyzing transient well test data. This paper presents some previously published type curves and the computer programs that were used to generate these type curves. The governing equations of the curves and their references the programs are presented as well. In addition, some previously unpublished type curves are developed. These include drawdown type curves for locating a sealed linear boundary, and type curves for a well located between two parallel sealing faults. The governing equations for these curves are derived. The computer generated working type curves are included in the Appendix.
