 Semi-log Plot of Pws vs. Horner time
• Horner time is define as unit time for build-up analysis.
𝑡𝑝 +∆𝑡
• Horner time, ,
∆𝑡
• which tp is producing time of well before shut-in. Unit in hours.
• t is shut-in time period. Unit in hours.
• After plotting Pws vs. horner time, estimate the slope at middle
transient period (Infinite Acting’s period).

• Use m to determine the formation permeability, 𝑘 =
𝑚ℎ
• Determine the P1hr. P1hr is the Pressure at t=1 hr. So, the P1hr is taken

• Determine the P due to skin, ∆𝑃𝑠𝑘𝑖𝑛 = 0,869𝑚𝑠
• Determine the Flow Efficiency (FE)
