Time to pseudo-steady state (single well-circular reservoir)

Input(s)

Ø: Porosity (fraction)

μ\mu: Viscosity (cP)

ctc_{t}: Compressibility (/psi)

rer_{e}: Radius of reservoir (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

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

Output(s)

tpss\mathrm{t}_{\mathrm{pss}}: Pseudo steady state (h)(\mathrm{h})

Formula(s)

 tpss =1200μctre2k\text { tpss }=1200 * \varnothing * \mu * c_{t} * \frac{r_{e}^{2}}{k}
