Calculation of pressure beyond the wellbore (line-source solution)

Input(s)

PiP_{i}: Initial Pressure (psi)(\mathrm{psi})

t\mathrm{t}: Time of Production (h)

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

B: Volume Factor (RB/STB)

\emptyset: Porosity (fraction)

ctc_{t}: Compressibility (1/psi)(1 / \mathrm{psi})

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

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

r\mathrm{r}: Radius of Wellbore (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

q: Flow Rate (STB/day)

Output(s)

P: Pressure (psi)(\mathrm{psi})

Formula(s)

P=Pi+70.6qBμln(1.688μctr2kt)khP=P_{i}+70.6 * q * B * \mu * \frac{\ln \left(1.688 * \emptyset * \mu * c_{t} * \frac{r^{2}}{k * t}\right)}{k * h}
