Abstract
The Fortran code AIRSLUG can be used to generate the type curves neede d to analyze the recovery data from prematurely terminated air-pressur ized slug tests. These type curves, when used with a graphical softwar e package, enable the engineer or scientist to analyze field tests to estimate transmissivity and storativity. Prematurely terminating the s lug test can significantly reduce the overall time needed to conduct t he test, especially at low-permeability sites, thus saving time and mo ney.
