An analysis is used to provide initial estimates for reservoir pressure, permeability, and skin in order to feed your models. We recommend creating an analysis before you create a model.

To create an analysis:

1. Prepare your data for analysis.

2. Click the Analysis menu, and select your analysis type. Your analysis will open in a new tab named "Diagnostic #".

3. Rename this tab by right-clicking it and selecting Rename. Use a name that you can easily remember.

For your analysis, a Parameters dialog box is displayed in the window.

4. Enter values for all of the fields marked Required. After you have done this, the Lines dialog box is displayed.

5. Use these dialog boxes to customize your analysis and determine your desired reservoir parameters.

Selecting a line from the Lines dialog box will place a line on the Typecurve plot, which you can manipulate.

6. After you are satisfied with your analysis, create a model by clicking the Create Model button in the Lines dialog box, or by clicking the Models menu.
