Abstract

This paper presents the analytical solutions in Laplace domain for two-dimensional nonsteady flow of slightly compressible liquid in porous media with double porosity by using the methods of integral transforms and variables separation. The effects of the ratio of storativities ω, interporosity flow parameter λ on the pressure behaviors for a vertically fractured well with infinite conductivity are investigated by using the method of numerical inversion. The new log-log diagnosis graph of the pressures is given and analysed.
