Excerpt

proxy model of Productivity Index for stabilised reservoir flow.

LaTeX Math Block
alignmentleft
J  = \frac{q}{p_{\rm frm} - p_{wf}} = \frac{2 \pi \sigma}{ \ln \frac{r_e}{r_w} + \epsilon + S}

where

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq

depending on application may mean a total sandface flowrate (

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq_t
) or a product of surface flowrate and FVF (
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq = q_{\rm srf} B
)

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyp_{wf}

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyp_{\rm frm}

depending on application may mean a drain-boundary formation pressure (

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyp_e
) or drain-area formation pressure (
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyp_r
)

LaTeX Math Inline
body\sigma

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyr_w

wellbore radius

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyr_e

distance to a drainarea boundary

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyS

total skin

LaTeX Math Inline
body\epsilon

a model parameter depending on Productivity Index definition and boundary type (

LaTeX Math Inline
body\epsilon =\{ 0, \, 0.5, \, 0.75 \}
, see Table 1 below)


The Dupuit PI @model is actually exact for homogeneous reservoir.


Table 1. Variations to Dupuit PI @model depending  on the reservoir flow regime and the definition/application of Productivity Index.
