Horner slope

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001859

The slope of the straight-line portion of a pressure buildup plot, where bottomhole pressure is plotted against the Horner time function. This slope is used in well test analysis to determine the permeability of the reservoir. It is a key parameter derived from the Horner plot method for analyzing pressure transient data.
