The pressure response pattern of a naturally fractured reservoir is considered under the assumption allowing matrix-to-fracture crossflow to result from a diffusion mechanism of fluid transfer through the matrix. The transitional pressure during time-variant crossflow is shown to develop on a semilog plot a linear segment with a slope equal to one-half that of the early- and late-time pressure segments. For a single well, this allows use of a conventional Horner-type analysis.
