Pressure buildup equation (Horner equation)

Input(s)

PiP_{i}: Initial Reservoir Pressure (psi)

QoQ_{o}: Stabilized Well Flow Rate before Shut-in (bbl/d)

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

BoB_{o}: Oil Formation Volume Factor (rb/stb)

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

h\mathrm{h}: Height (ft)

tpt_{p}: Flowing Time before Shut-in (day)

Δt\Delta t: Shut-in Time (day)

Output(s)

PwsP_{w s}: Pressure (psi)

Formula(s)

Pws=Pi(162.6QoBoμokh)log(tp+ΔtΔt)P_{w s}=P_{i}-\left(\frac{162.6 * Q_{o} * B_{o} * \mu_{o}}{k * h}\right) * \log \left(\frac{t_{p}+\Delta t}{\Delta t}\right)
