The most accurate estimation of Productivity Index is based on 3D numerical computation but there are numerous proxy models covering popular categories of reservoir flow regimesdynamic reservoir properties and well-reservoir contacts.


Dupuit equation @model


J = \frac{2 \pi \sigma}{ \ln \frac{r_e}{r_w} + \epsilon+ S}

where

for Steady State (SS) well flow regime

for Pseudo Steady State (PSS) well flow regime
