Analyzing well-testing data by the type-curve matching is a modern well-testing analysis method and is widely used in the petroleum and gas industry. By improving accuracy of type curve, we can get more accurate results from analyzing welltesting data, which provide a scientifc base for development of oil, gas and water resources. By solving percolation equations, we can obtain type curves. The Laplace transformation methods are often used to solve them. In this paper, we improve the accuracy of type curve by improving the numerical inverse Laplace transformation (NILT) based on infinite series. We combine the NILT based on infinite series with Levin convergence acceleration and determine necessary parameters through numerical experiments to improve accuracy and speed. To verify this method, we compare the improved method with the Stehfest method using some functions such as trigonometric function. Type curves for analysis of well-testing data for the homogeneous reservoir with elastic outer boundary and a dual porosity reservoir are plotted and compared by using the improved numerical inversion and the Stehfest numerical inversion, respectively. These results show that type curves plotted by the improved method are less in vibration and fuctuation than ones plotted by the Stehfest method.

When we develop petroleum and natural gas reservoirs, we can see a lot of dual-porosity reservoirs with both pores and fractures. Many researchers have studied characteristics of fluid flow in dual-porosity reservoirs with the ideal outer boundary (infinite boundary, closed boundary or constant pressure boundary) but nobody has considered dual-porosity model with the elastic outer boundary (EOB) reflecting the real condition. So there could be large errors in analyzing well-test data for dual-porosity model. In this paper, we establish a percolation model for dual-porosity reservoirs with the EOB and consider the skin factor and wellbore storage. And we obtain its solution in Laplace space by introducing the effective well radius and applying the Laplace transformation. An approximation in Laplace space is also derived by using an asymptotic formula of I0(x) and I1(x). By using Stehfest numerical inversion of Laplace transformation, the solution in the real space is obtained. We compare this model to homogeneous model with the EOB and conventional dual-porosity model, respectively. Comparison results show that the conventional outer boundary conditions are three special cases of the EOB and homogeneous model with the EOB is a special case of dual-porosity model with the EOB. Flow characteristics are analyzed and it is shown that the EOB affects analysis of well-test data through simulation. This study may improve the accuracy of well-test analysis for dual-porosity reservoir.
