Gas Well Testing Handbook

Appendix B: Correlation Tables and Charts for Dimensionless Functions

Overview

This appendix presents correlations tables and charts for dimensionless functions for single-well systems producing at constant rate. Some data from the literature have been modified to be consistent with the nomenclature used in this text.
