Bourdet Sensitivity to Total Compressibility

The figure below represents the Bourdet derivative with permeability with increasing system compressibility from 3 10-4 to 8 10-4. Compressibility does not affect the derivative level when infinite acting radial flow is reached but has a cumulative effect on the normalized pressure.

As can be seen below, errors in ct will have a significant impact on estimation of reservoir size as the PSS location relocates based on ct.
