Below is a Bourdet analysis of CSG Well in Australia. In this scenario, two different analyses were performed using the same data.
In this example, some observations are:
-
Reduced smoothing introduced significant scatter to Bourdet analysis, giving quite a large estimate of permeability, and possibly loss of kh near the end of the data.
-
Smoothing produced what appears to be a more definite radial flow period, but the derivative is actually decreasing indicating an increase in kh (the opposite of above).
