Figure 1
Figure 2 shows the pre-closure analysis using the semilog and first derivative corresponding to G-function time. From this plot,
fracture closure is identified within the initial 3-hours of the falloff period.

Figure 2
Figure 3 represents the log-log diagnostic plot used mainly for identifying the flow regimes developed after-closure. The semilog
derivative, calculated with respect to shut-in time, exhibits a slope of -1 shortly after-closure, suggesting that radial flow has
developed. The fluctuations in the derivative slope can be attributed to gas-entry that is not accounted for with the bottomhole
pressure calculations.

Figure 4 represents the falloff data plotted with the radial time function for the Soliman/Craig solution.

Figure 4
Figure 5 represents the log-log plot of the derivative data and shows the match obtained with the Soliman/Craig model. The model
suggests radial flow was not quite achieved during the test period, and would likely develop after about 49 hours of falloff. However,
in this case the transition to radial flow is sufficiently developed to yield reliable estimates of formation pressure and permeability.
