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 |
