Flow period duration (hydraulically fractured wells)

Input(s)

\emptyset: Porosity (fraction)

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

μ\mu: Viscosity (cP)

LfL_{f}: Fracture Length (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

tLfDt_{L f D}: Time of End of Linear or Start Pseudo Radial Flow from Plot (dimensionless)

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

Output(s)

t: Duration of Flow Periods (h)

Formula(s)

t=ϕμct(Lf2)tLfD0.0002637kt=\frac{\phi * \mu * c_{t} *\left(L_{f}^{2}\right) * t_{L f D}}{0.0002637 * k}
