Once the user has successfully input all the required data, as shown in the following two screen captures, they can press the calculate button to perform the coning calculations.
With the above input panel, and a knowledge of production history (time in days and watercut), the user can iterate the vertical permeability to achieve an acceptable match. See example provided below.
