This paper presents for the first time a technique for analyzing buildup data from wells produced at constant pressure with turbulent flow in the fracture. Two example applications, one each for buildup and drawdown, are included to demonstrate these methods which would find significant application in low permeability reservoirs that are generally produced at constant pressure.
