MBH Method
Plot pws vs (tp+t)/t on semilog coordinates Extrapolate to (tp+t)/t=1 to find p* Calculate the dimensionless producing time tpAD Using the appropriate MBH chart for the drainage area shape and well location, find pMBHD Calculate pavg If tp >> tpss, more accurate results may be obtained by using tpss in place of tp in calculating the Horner time ratio and tpAD

Matthews-Brons-Hazebroek Method
Advantages Applies to wide variety of drainage area shapes, well locations Uses only data in the middle time region Can be used with both short and long producing times Disadvantages Have to know drainage area size, shape, well location Have to have accurate fluid property data
