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 |
