Assessing the Permeability in Anisotropic and Weakly Permeable Porous Rocks Using Radial Pulse Tests

The pulse test is usually considered to be an efficient method for measuring the permeability of weakly permeable porous rocks. Classically, the test consists of imposing a pressure drop on the base of a cylindrical sample and measuring the pressure variations in the upstream and downstream res...
