Recovery Test Solutions

Click to enlarge image!All of the pumping tests solutions in AQTESOLV include variable-rate analysis. With this feature, you can use any type curve solution in the program to simulate drawdown and recovery during a pumping test or constant-head testnew2.gif (111 bytes).

AQTESOLV now includes the Agarwal methodnew2.gif (111 bytes) for recovery analysis. With this method, you can use standard type curves (Theis, Hantush, Neuman, etc.) to analyze data from a recovery test!

You can use AQTESOLV to analyze single-well recovery tests, too. Especially important in single-well tests is wellbore storage and AQTESOLV provides you with more solutions for wellbore storage than other packages!
