                           SOLUTION


                              l(a) Conventional method
                              From Figure 8.31: aP  = 15 psi, m  = 25 psiflog cycle and Atid  =
                           0.22 hrs

                            1. The average permeability of the formation is estimated from the slope
                              of the semilog straight line. Using Equation 8.75 yields:


                                   162.6qpB0    162.6 (17000) (0.47) (1.74)
                              k=             -                           = 78.6 mD
                                             -
                                      mh               (25)(1150)


                           2.  Fluid storage coefficient is estimated using Equation 8.74:









                              The storage coefficient of 0.25 indicates that the fractures occupy 25%
                              of the total reservoir pore volume.
