Abstract

The theory of pressure and water level oscillations of tidal origin in Darcy type aquifers and petroleum reservoirs has been discussed in a number of recent publications (see for example, Bredehoeft, 1967; Bodvarsson, 1970, 1977, 1978a, 1978b; and Arditty et all, 1978. There is a general agreement that observational data on the tidal pressure phenomena may be applied to obtain useful estimates of important reservoir parameters such as the permeability.
