Bourdet Derivative & Other models
The use of the Bourdet derivative does not stop with flow regimes. The Bourdet derivative can
display the signature of numerous well, reservoir and boundary behaviors. Again the loglog
plot below shows some typical behaviors detected from the observation of the Bourdet
derivative.

Modeling
The actual measured data is matched to a full model response selected by the interpreter from
the identified flow regimes, including the appropriate well and boundary models and the actual
production history.
