Dimensionless time (linear flow/constant rate production/general case)
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{t}\): Production Time \((\mathrm{h})\)
k: Permeability \((\mathrm{mD})\)
\(\emptyset\): Porosity (fraction)
\(c_{t}\): Total Compressibility \((1 / \mathrm{psi})\)
\(\mu\): Oil Viscosity \((\mathrm{cP})\)
A: Cross Sectional Area (ft)
Output(s)
\(t_{A D}\): Dimensionless Time (dimensionless)
Formula(s)
\[
t_{A D}=\frac{0.0002637 * k * t}{\phi * \mu * c_{t} * A}
\]
