Electric resistance to a radial current from a wellbore

Input(s)

h: Height of Reservoir (ft)

rer_{e}: Drainage Radius (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

rwr_{w}: Wellbore Radius (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

σ\sigma: Electric Conductivity (ohm/ft)

Output(s)

ReR_{e}: Electric Resistivity (ohm)

Formula(s)

Re=ln(rerw)2πhσR_{e}=\frac{\ln \left(\frac{r_{e}}{r_{w}}\right)}{2 * \pi * h * \sigma}
