Question: 3 . 3 . A constant - rate drawdown test was run on the well described in Problem 3 . 2 . Rate was held

3.3. A constant-rate drawdown test was run on the well described in Problem 3.2. Rate was held constant at 600 STB/D. After 96.9 hours, the surface rate was changed abruptly to 300 STB/D. Data for the tests before and after the rate change are given in Table 3.10. From the data obtained with q=600 STB/D, estimate k, s, and area of the reservoir.
From the data obtained in the two-rate flow test after q changed to 300 STB/D, confirm the estimates of k and s, and calculate the current value of p*.
