Naturally fractured reservoirs are anisotropic systems whose flow characteristics depend on the fractures network. Their permeability variation is not only stratigraphic in nature, but is also caused by the fractures distribution, orientation and permeability impairment within the fractures caused by pressure solution or mineralization. The reservoir becomes more complex when both the matrix and fracture exhibit anisotropy and have the capability to flow into the wellbore as in the double permeability case. Well test analysis in these reservoirs has been based on the radial flow...
