WATERLOO, Ontario - Schlumberger Water Services has released its AquiferTest Pro v.2010 software for pumping and slug test analysis. The latest version promises more reliable curve fitting techniques and an expanded set of testing solutions. The software is aimed at hydrogeologists, environmental consultants and government agencies.

The company says that AquiferTest Pro offers "one-click" display of type curves and manual edits with the mouse that allows users full control to accurately match time-drawdown data, saving time and improving the quality of the analysis. A suite of derivative smoothing methods allows for easier identification of the aquifer properties, well effects and boundary conditions, ensuring that the most appropriate solution method is selected for the test. It is now possible to conduct a more rigorous assessment of hydraulic properties under unique conditions such as horizontal pumping wells, well skin effects and slug tests in high conductivity formations. The improved Neuman analysis for unconfined aquifers showed a 90 times increase in performance over the previous versions.
