Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003963

A set of pre-plotted graphical solutions representing the theoretical pressure response of a well under specific reservoir and boundary conditions. Each curve on a log-log plot corresponds to a unique combination of parameters, such as wellbore storage and skin factor. By matching field data to one of these curves, an engineer can estimate the properties of the tested reservoir.
