Well shut-in pressure during buildup (Horner plot)

Input(s)

pip_{i}: Initial False Pressure (psi)

QoQ_{o}: Stabilized Well Flow Rate before Shut-in (STB/day)

BoB_{o}: Oil Formation Volume Factor (bbl/STB)

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

μo\mu_{o}: Oil Viscosity (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

tpt_{p}: Flowing Time before Shut-in (h)

Δt\Delta \mathrm{t}: Shut-in Time (h)

h: Thickness (ft)

Output(s)

pwsp_{w s}: Shut-in Pressure (psi)

Formula(s)

pws=pi(162.6QoμoBokh)log(tp+ΔtΔt)p_{w s}=p_{i}-\left(\frac{162.6 * Q_{o} * \mu_{o} * B_{o}}{k * h}\right) * \log \left(\frac{t_{p}+\Delta t}{\Delta t}\right)
