Explanations: = dimensionless coefficient of nonlinear term; = dimensionless time; = dimensionless wellbore storage coefficient; = dimensionless pressure; = dimensionless pressure derivative; DV = differential value; RDV = relative differential value. Quantitative analysis of the nonlinear influence is made by setting as 0.01, and the corresponding type curves (curves ā‘”) are shown in Figure 1.
