The Fortran code AIRSLUG can be used to generate the type curves needed to analyze the recovery data from prematurely terminated air‐pressurized slug tests. These type curves, when used with a graphical software package, enable the engineer or scientist to analyze field tests to estimate transmissivity and storativity. Prematurely terminating the slug test can significantly reduce the overall time needed to conduct the test, especially at low‐permeability sites, thus saving time and money.
