Unsteady-State Behavior of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

A simplified model was employed to develop mathematicallyequations that describe the unsteady­ state behavior of naturally fractured reservoirs, The analysis resulted in an equation of flow of radial symmetry whose solution, for the infinite case, is identical in form and function to that describing the unsteady-state behavior of homo­ geneous reservoirs. Accepting the assumed model, for all practical purposes one cannot distinguish between fractured and homogeneous reservoirs from pressure build-up and/or drawdown plots,
