Analysis of a well from a PI test

Input(s)

P: Average Reservoir Pressure (psi)

q: Flow Rate (STB/day)

\(P_{w f}\): Well Flowing Pressure (psi)

\(\mathrm{k}\): Permeability \((\mathrm{mD})\)

B: Volume Factor (RB/STB)

\(\mathrm{h}\): Thickness of Reservoir ( \(\mathrm{ft}\) )

\(\mu\): Oil Viscosity \((\mathrm{cP})\)

\(r_{e}\): Drainage Radius (ft)

\(r_{w}\): Wellbore Radius (ft)

Output(s)

J: Productivity index (STB/day/psi)

\(k_{j}\): Average Permeability \((\mathrm{mD})\)

s: Skin Factor (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

\[ \begin{gathered} J=\frac{q}{P-P_{w f}} \\ k_{j}=141.2 * J * B * \mu * \frac{\ln \left(\frac{r_{e}}{r_{w}}\right)-0.75}{h} \\ s=\left(\frac{k}{k_{j}}-1\right) *\left(\ln \left(\frac{r_{e}}{r_{w}}\right)-0.75\right) \end{gathered} \]
