A method to determine the permeability-thickness product for a naturally fractured reservoir is presented. The method involves a semilog graph of the pressure difference, log (p-bar-P/sub ws/), vs shut-in time, /DELTA/t. The permeability-thickness product may be calculated from the slope. The mathematical theory is based on the extended Muskat analysis for a homogeneous reservoir, and the J.E. Warren and P.J. Root model for a naturally fractured reservoir. A comparison is made with the P. Pollard method which involves a similar graph. It is found that both methods are mathematically related. The method presented is new and should have wide application to fractured reservoirs. 16 refs.
