Analysis of flow in a fractured porous reservoir forms the basis for investigations of chemical and energy transport in such media. Numerical models are often employed to analyze these geohydrologic systems. In this paper a well hydraulics problem is solved using the Laplace transformation and the double‐porosity concept. The transient solution is obtained by numerical inversion of the Laplace transform. Solutions to slug test problems indicate that the head response due to fracturing is distinct from the response due to partial penetration or skin effect. An alternative to the commonly used van Everdingen model of skin effect is given. No method for identifying fractured porous reservoir parameters from slug tests has been developed. The results of this paper may be applied to test numerical models of flow in fractured porous media.

Four flow periods may occur during the transient behavior of a horizontal well. Drawdown and buildup equations describing the flow behavior of each of the four flow periods are given. Methods for analyzing data obtained from testing the well to determine permeability anisotropy in its drainage volume and the skin factor are presented. Calculation procedures are illustrated by examples.

A complete description of the convective‐dispersive transport of a contaminant from an injection well requires consideration of a velocity dependent dispersion coefficient. An analytical solution of this equation for steady fluid flow conditions can be obtained. The solution is significantly different from existing approximate analytical solutions. A numerical solution to this problem converges to the new analytical solution upon refinement of the finite difference net.
