Elastic capacity of aquifer to expand into oil reservoir or gas reservoir due to pressure depletion:

(1) B = \frac{\theta}{2\pi} \cdot A_e \cdot h_a \cdot \phi_a \cdot c_t

where

\theta

Central Angle of net pay area - aquifer contact

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


In Oil Field unit system:

(2) B = 1.119 \cdot A_e \cdot h_a \cdot \phi_a \cdot c_t

where
