Skin factor by Hawkins method

Input(s)

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

ksk_{s} : Permeability of Skin Zone Near Wellbore (mD)

rwr_{w}: Radius of Wellbore (ft)

rsr_{s}: Radius of Skin Zone (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

Output(s)

S: Skin Factor (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

S=((kks)1)ln(rsrw)S=\left(\left(\frac{k}{k_{s}}\right)-1\right) * \ln \left(\frac{r_{s}}{r_{w}}\right)
