Storativity of fractures

Input(s)

ϕf\phi_{\mathrm{f}}: Porosity of Fracture (fraction)

m\varnothing_{\mathrm{m}}: Porosity of Matrix (fraction)

hf\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{f}}: Fracture Thickness (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

hm\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{m}}: Matrix Thickness (ft)

ctfc_{\mathrm{tf}}: Total Fracture Compressibility (1/psi)

ctm\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{tm}}: Total Matrix Compressibility (1/psi)

Output(s)

ω\omega: Storativity of Fracture (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

ω=f hfctff hfctf+m hmctm\omega=\frac{\emptyset_{\mathrm{f}} * \mathrm{~h}_{\mathrm{f}} * \mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{tf}}}{\emptyset_{\mathrm{f}} * \mathrm{~h}_{\mathrm{f}} * \mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{tf}}+\emptyset_{\mathrm{m}} * \mathrm{~h}_{\mathrm{m}} * \mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{tm}}}
