A Unified Workflow for Analyzing Power-Law Pressure Derivatives in Heterogeneous and Unconventional Reservoirs

Summary Conventional pressure-transient analysis (PTA) has historically relied on the assumption of reservoir homogeneity—a simplification rooted in the foundational work of Theis (1935) and Horner (1951). Although multilayer, double-porosity, and double-permeability models were later introduced to account for heteroge...
