Introduction

After-closure Diagnostic (Nolte)

This after-closure analysis method is based on the work of K.G. Nolte, and expanded on by R.D. Barree. It is based on the
solution of a constant pressure injection followed by a falloff. The impulse equations are obtained by approximating the
injection duration as very small. Nolte's techniques use injected volume as the impulse volume and consider the closure
point as the beginning of the falloff.
