Dimensionless pressure (linear flow/constant rate production/general case)

Input(s)

pip_{i}: Initial Reservoir Pressure (psi)(\mathrm{psi})

B: Volume Factor (RB/STB)(\mathrm{RB} / \mathrm{STB})

μ\mu: Oil Viscosity (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

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

A: Cross Section Area (ft)

q: Flow Rate (STB/day)

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

Output(s)

pDp_{D}: Dimensionless Pressure (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

pD=kA0.5141.2qBμ(pip)p_{D}=\frac{k * A^{0.5}}{141.2 * q * B * \mu} *\left(p_{i}-p\right)
