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

(1) B = \frac{\theta}{\pi} \cdot A_e \cdot h \cdot \phi \cdot c_t

where

\theta

central angle of net pay area ↔ aquifer contact

A_e = \pi \, r_e^2

net pay area

h

aquifer effective thickness

\phi

aquifer porosity

c_t=c_r +c_w

aquifer total compressibility

c_r

aquifer pore compressibility 

c_w

aquifer water compressibility
