PO.DCA.Diag.bParam Function
Description:
Computes the time-varying Arps b-parameter. b=0: exponential, 0<b<1: hyperbolic, b=1: harmonic, b>1: transient (unconventional).
Excel Function Syntax:
=PO.DCA.Diag.bParam(time, rate, t, L)
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| time | Time values (sorted ascending). |
| rate | Production rate values. |
| t | Time at which to compute b-parameter. |
| L | Smoothing parameter for derivative calculation. Typical: 0.1-0.5. |
