Abstract: | Direct mirror-well image theory to locate an impermeable boundary does not apply in anisotropic formations because the relationship between flow lines and equipotential lines is distorted due to directional transmissivity. A simple approach enables an impermeable boundary to be located in anisotropic formations, and it can be verified with a field example. |
