Pseudo-steady state radial flow equation

Input(s)

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

h: Thickness of Reservoir (ft)

PiP_{i}: Average Reservoir Pressure (psi)

PwfP_{w f}: Well Flowing Pressure (psi)

B: Formation Volume Factor (bbl/STB)

μ\mu: Viscosity (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

rer_{e}: Drainage Radius (ft)

rwr_{w}: Wellbore Radius (ft)

Output(s)

QQ: Flow Rate (STB/day)

Formula(s)

Q=0.00708kh(PiPwf)Bμ(ln(rerw)0.75)Q=\frac{0.00708 * k * h *\left(P_{i}-P_{w f}\right)}{B * \mu *\left(\ln \left(\frac{r_{e}}{r_{w}}\right)-0.75\right)}
