Input(s)

ρo\rho_{o}: Oil Density (g/cc)(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})

ρq\rho_{q}: Gas Density (g/cc)(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})

tbtt_{b t}: Breakthrough Time (days)

ϕ\phi: Porosity (fraction)

h\mathrm{h}: Oil Column Thickness (ft)

μo\mu_{o}: Oil Viscosity (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

qoq_{o}: Flow Rate (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

BoB_{o}: Oil Formation Volume Factor (rb/STB)(\mathrm{rb} / \mathrm{STB})

khk_{h}: Vertical Permeability (mD)(\mathrm{mD})

kvk_{v}: Horizontal Permeability (mD)

Output(s)

tdbtt_{d b t}: Breakthrough Time if breakthrough time is given (days)
