Basic Model Typecurves

Subtopics:

The typecurves shown below help identify key characteristics for different models based on wellbore configuration, formation configuration, and the presence of a hydraulic fracture.  They are representative of drawdown flow periods only, and assume an infinite-acting reservoir (no boundary effects).  This is intended as a guide to help in identifying an appropriate model to match the pressure response being analyzed.  It is not intended to display an exact typecurve to match a specific pressure response.
