Cross-phase average formation pressure:
p_e = \frac{1}{N_\alpha} \sum_\alpha p_{e, \alpha} |
where
In case of the most popular 3-phase Oil + Gas + Water fluid model:
p_e = \frac{1}{3} \left( p_{eo} + p_{eg} + p_{ew} \right) |
where
p_{e, o} | |
p_{e, g} | formation pressure of gas phase |
p_{e, w} | formation pressure of water phase |
