Characterisation of the fractured reservoirs is of great importance as reservoirs of this type represent a significant proportion of the aquifers and petroleum reservoirs in the world. Well test is one of the main tools for this purpose. Inter-porosity fluid exchange coefficient is one of the parameters that should be determined in this kind of reservoirs as a result of well test.
