Abstract
Summary: Four flow periods may occur during the transient behavior of a horizontal well. Drawdown and buildup equations describing the flow behavior of each of the four flow periods are given. Methods for analyzing data obtained from testing the well to determine permeability anisotropy in its drainage volume and the skin factor are presented. Calculation procedures are illustrated by examples.Keywords
