Productivity ratio calculation of a hydraulically-fractured formation

Input(s)

kavgz k_{\text {avgz }} : Average Permeability of a Hydraulically Fractured Zone (mD)

kFk_{F} : Permeability of the Fracture (mD)

kk : Permeability of the Formation (mD)(\mathrm{mD})

hh : Formation Thickness (ft)

WW : Fracture Thickness (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

rer_{e}: Drainage Radius of the Well (in.)

rwr_{w}: Radius of the Well (in.)

rfr_{f}: Radius of the Fracture (in.)

kavg k_{\text {avg }}: Average Permeability of a Hydraulically Fractured Formation (mD)

Output(s)

PR: Productivity Ratio of a Hydraulically Fractured Formation (mD)

Formula(s)

PR=kavgkP R=\frac{k_{a v g}}{k}

or,

PR=[kfWkh][khkfW+1]ln(rerw)[kfWkh+1]ln(rerf)+ln(rfrw)P R=\left[\frac{k_{f} \cdot W}{k \cdot h}\right] \cdot \frac{\left[\frac{k h}{k_{f} \cdot W}+1\right] \cdot \ln \left(\frac{r_{e}}{r_{w}}\right)}{\left[\frac{k_{f} \cdot W}{k h}+1\right] \cdot \ln \left(\frac{r_{e}}{r_{f}}\right)+\ln \left(\frac{r_{f}}{r_{w}}\right)}
