Injectivity index II = q i / D p. Productivity index PI = q p / D p. Rate is proportional to the pressure drop for any flow geometry Darcy’s law: n=1, x. Steady state flow towards well. Flux of incompressible fluid via the contour with the radius r is:.

Injectivity index II = qi/Dp Productivity index PI = qp/Dp Rate is proportional to the pressure drop for any flow geometry Darcy’s law: n=1, x
Steady state flow towards well Flux of incompressible fluid via the contour with the radius r is: Separation of variables and integration give: where C is a constant
Setting the pressure values at well radius rw and at the contour radius Rc results in the Dupui formula Drainage radius of production/injection well Let us rewrite the Dupui formula as
Well radius is usually around 0.1 m. Contour radius can vary from 5 m to 500 m. So, the ratio Rc/rw can vary from 50 to 5000. The variation of permeability k, well rate q, reservoir net pay h and viscosity can be 3-4 orders of magnitude in real reservoirs. Nevertheless, the right hand side of the equality varies from 4.0 to 8.5. It allows to fix any Rc value for well rate calculations.

Introduction of skin factor For dimensionless pressure P=2kp/qµ:
Skin factor in a damaged well – definition: What is a skin factor if II for damaged well is 10 times lower than that of undamaged well? In damaged zone with rd=0.2 m permeability decreased 10 times if compared with initial permeability. Calculate skin for rw=0.1 and Rc=500 m.
