Pore pressure increase due to fluid activity (Mody and Hale)

Input(s)

EmE_{m}: Membrane Efficiency (dimensionless)

R: Gas Constant (psi/mol K)

T: Temperature (K)(\mathrm{K})

V\mathrm{V}: Volume (ft3)\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)

ApA_{p}: Pore Fluid Activity (dimensionless)

AmA_{m}: Mud Activity (dimensionless)

Output(s)

δP\delta P: Pore Pressure Increase (psi)(\mathrm{psi})

Formula(s)

δP=Em(R T V)ln(ApAm)\delta P=\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{m}} *\left(\frac{\mathrm{R} * \mathrm{~T}}{\mathrm{~V}}\right) * \ln \left(\frac{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{m}}}\right)
