Pumping and Slug Test Solutions
Horizontal Wells: Expand your pumping test applications by analyzing data captured from horizontal pumping wells. Based on Clonts and Ramey (1986)
Well Skin Effects and Well Bore Storage: Improve the accuracy of your analysis by accounting for well skin effects and well bore storage in pumping wells using the Agarwal (1970) solution
Expand your slug tests: Analyze slug tests in high conductivity formations that exhibit inertial effects and oscillatory response - Butler (2000)
Improved Neuman analysis is more than 90 times faster than the previous implementation
Performance Enhancements
Improve Quality: Generate a statistical scatter plot showing the quality of the curve fit, represented as observed vs. calculated drawdown, and include this in reports
More Flexibility and Greater Control: Using your mouse to do manual curve fitting provides more flexibility and improved accuracy
Increase Convenience: With a single mouse click display the complete family of type curves for Neuman and Hantush analysis for easier type-curve matching
Increased Confidence: New derivative smoothing methods allow for easier identification of the aquifer type, well effects, and boundary conditions, ensuring that the most appropriate solution is selected for the test. Based on methods by Bourdet (1989), Horne (1995), and Spane and Wurstner (1993)
