Elastic capacity of aquifer to expand into oil reservoir or gas reservoir due to pressure depletion:
| (1) | B = A_e \cdot h_a \cdot \phi_a \cdot c_t |
where
A_e = \pi \, r_e^2 | net pay area |
h_a | aquifer effective thickness |
\phi_a | aquifer porosity |
c_t=c_r +c_w | aquifer total compressibility |
c_r | aquifer pore compressibility |
c_w | aquifer water compressibility |
