Pressure buildup equation (Horner equation)

Input(s)

\(P_{i}\): Initial Reservoir Pressure (psi)

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

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

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

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

\(\mathrm{h}\): Height (ft)

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

\(\Delta t\): Shut-in Time (day)

Output(s)

\(P_{w s}\): Pressure (psi)

Formula(s)

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