A method for testing formations of very low permeability is presented. The method is based on an analytical solution that describes the decay of a head change caused by pressurizing the volume of water stored in a shut‐in well. Type curves prepared from this solution are matched with observed data to determine the hydraulic properties of the formation tested. The test is similar to the conventional slug test; however, its much shorter duration makes the testing of extremely tight formations feasible.
