Dimensionless pressure drop during pseudo-steady state flow for a fractured vertical well in a square drainage area

Input(s)

tDAt_{D A}: Dimensionless Time (dimensionless)

CfC_{f}: Shape Factor for a Fractured Vertical Well (dimensionless)

xex_{e}: Half the Side of Square Drainage Area (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

xfx_{f}: Fracture Half Length (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

Output(s)

PDP_{D}: Wellbore Dimensionless Pressure Drop (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

PD=2πtDA+0.5ln(xexf)2+0.5ln(2.2458Cf)+0.52.77P_{D}=2 * \pi * t_{D A}+0.5 * \ln \left(\frac{x_{e}}{x_{f}}\right)^{2}+0.5 * \ln \left(\frac{2.2458}{C_{f}}\right)+0.5 * 2.77
