Skin during infinite-acting pseudoradial flow for vertical wells

Input(s)

pip_{i}: Initial Pressure (psi)(\mathrm{psi})

p1hrp_{1 h r}: Pressure After 1 Hour (psi)

m\mathrm{m}: Slope (psi/h)(\mathrm{psi} / \mathrm{h})

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

\emptyset: Porosity (fraction)

μTotal \mu_{\text {Total }}: Viscosity (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

ctc_{t}: Total Compressibility (1/psi)

rwr_{w}: Wellbore Radius (ft)

Output(s)

S: Skin (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

S=1.151((pip1hrm)log(kμTotal ctrw2)+3.23)S=1.151 *\left(\left(\frac{p_{i}-p_{1 h r}}{m}\right)-\log \left(\frac{k}{\emptyset * \mu_{\text {Total }} * c_{t} * r_{w}^{2}}\right)+3.23\right)
