Abstract: The pressure deconvolution result is very sensitive to the initial reservoir pressure,and the error in this parameter
must be controlled within 0.5%. It requires at least two different flow periods to determine this parameter by Levitan’s method,
and it is very susceptible to such factors as nonlinearity in pressure and rate data. A new deconvolution algorithm based on
pressure derivative is presented,and it’s in sensitive to the initial reservoir pressure. Moreover,only one flow period can be
used to determine its value. Through detailed analysis in this paper,this algorithm can tolerate both errors in pressure and rate.

Key words: pressure derivative, deconvolution, initial reservoir pressure, rate error, non-sensitivity
