Fracture fluid coefficient for viscosity-controlled liquids

Input(s)

kk: Effective Permeability (Darcy)

Ø: Effective Porosity (%)

μf\mu_{f}: Viscosity of Fracturing Fluid in Reservoir Conditions (cP)

ΔP\Delta P: Pressure difference in Fracture Face (psi)

cc : Conversion Coefficient (dimensionless)

Output(s)

CvC_{v}: Fracture Fluid Coefficient for Viscosity-Controlled Liquids (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

Cv=c(kΔPμf)1/2C_{v}=c\left(\frac{k \cdot \Delta P \cdot \emptyset}{\mu_{f}}\right)^{1 / 2}
