Transient flow in Radial Composite Reservoir:

(1) \frac{\partial p_a}{\partial t} = \chi \cdot \left[ \frac{\partial^2 p_a}{\partial r^2} + \frac{1}{r}\cdot \frac{\partial p_a}{\partial r} \right]
(2) p_a(t = 0, r)= p(0)
(3) p_a(t, r=r_e) = p(t)
(4) \frac{\partial p_a}{\partial r} \bigg|_{(t, r=r_a)} = 0


Consider a pressure convolution:

(5) p_a(t, r) = p(0) + \int_0^t p_1 \left(\frac{(t-\tau) \cdot \chi}{r_e^2}, \frac{r}{r_e} \right) \dot p(\tau) d\tau
(6) \dot p(\tau) = \frac{d p}{d \tau}


One can easily check that (5) honors the whole set of equations (1)(4) and as such defines a unique solution of the above problem.

Water flowrate within \theta sector angle at interface with oil reservoir will be:

(7) q^{\downarrow}_{AQ}(t)= \theta \cdot r_e \cdot h \cdot u(t,r_e)

where u(t,r_e) is flow velocity at aquifer contact boundary, which is:

(8) u(t,r_e) = M \cdot \frac{\partial p_a(t,r)}{\partial r} \bigg|_{r=r_e}


where \displaystyle M = \frac{k_w}{\mu_w} is aquifer mobility.

Water flowrate becomes:

(9) q^{\downarrow}_{AQ}(t)= \theta \cdot r_e \cdot h \cdot M \cdot \frac{\partial p_a(t,r)}{\partial r} \bigg|_{r=r_e}


Cumulative water flux:

(10) Q^{\downarrow}_{AQ}(t) = \int_0^t q^{\downarrow}_{AQ}(t) dt = \theta \cdot r_e \cdot h \cdot M \cdot \int_0^t \frac{\partial p_a(t,r)}{\partial r} \bigg|_{r=r_e} dt


Substituting (5) into (10) leads to:

(11) Q^{\downarrow}_{AQ}(t) = \theta \cdot r_e \cdot h \cdot M \cdot \int_0^t d\xi \ \frac{\partial }{\partial r} \left[ \int_0^\xi p_1 \left( \frac{(\xi-\tau)\chi}{r_e^2}, \frac{r}{r_e} \right) \, \dot p(\tau) d\tau \right]_{r=r_e}
(12) Q^{\downarrow}_{AQ}(t) = \theta \cdot h \cdot M \cdot \int_0^t d\xi \ \frac{\partial }{\partial r_D} \left[ \int_0^\xi p_1 \left( \frac{(\xi-\tau)\chi}{r_e^2}, r_D \right) \, \dot p(\tau) d\tau \right]_{r_D=1}
(13) Q^{\downarrow}_{AQ}(t) = \theta \cdot h \cdot M \cdot \int_0^t d\xi \ \int_0^\xi \frac{\partial p_1}{\partial r_D} \left( \frac{(\xi-\tau)\chi}{r_e^2}, r_D \right) \Bigg|_{r_D=1} \, \dot p(\tau) d\tau

The above integral represents the integration over the D area in (\tau, \ \xi) plane (see Fig. 1):

(14) Q^{\downarrow}_{AQ}(t) = \theta \cdot h \cdot M \cdot \iint_D d\xi \ d\tau \, \dot p(\tau) \frac{\partial p_1}{\partial r_D} \left( \frac{(\xi-\tau)\chi}{r_e^2}, r_D \right) \Bigg|_{r_D=1}

Changing the integration order from \tau \rightarrow \xi to \xi \rightarrow \tau leads to:

(15) Q^{\downarrow}_{AQ}(t) = \theta \cdot h \cdot M \cdot \int_0^t d\tau \int_\tau^t d\xi \ \dot p(\tau) \frac{\partial p_1}{\partial r_D} \left( \frac{(\xi-\tau)\chi}{r_e^2}, r_D \right) \Bigg|_{r_D=1} = \theta \cdot h \cdot M \cdot \int_0^t \dot p(\tau) d\tau \int_\tau^t d\xi \ \frac{\partial p_1}{\partial r_D} \left( \frac{(\xi-\tau)\chi}{r_e^2}, r_D \right) \Bigg|_{r_D=1}

Replacing the variable:

(16) \xi = \tau + \frac{r_e^2}{\chi} \cdot t_D \rightarrow t_D = \frac{(\xi-\tau)\chi}{r_e^2} \rightarrow d\xi = \frac{r_e^2}{\chi} \cdot dt_D

and flux becomes:

(17) Q^{\downarrow}_{AQ}(t) = \theta \cdot h \cdot M \cdot \frac{r_e^2}{\chi} \cdot \int_0^t \dot p(\tau) d\tau \int_0^{(t-\tau)\chi/r_e^2} \frac{\partial p_1( t_D, r_D)}{\partial r_D} \Bigg|_{r_D=1} dt_D = B \cdot \int_0^t \dot p(\tau) d\tau \int_0^{(t-\tau)\chi/r_e^2} \frac{\partial p_1( t_D, r_D)}{\partial r_D} \Bigg|_{r_D=1} dt_D

where B is water influx constant and which leads to
