Communication factor in a compartment in tight gas reservoirs

Input(s)

K: Permeability $(\mathrm{mD})$

A: Area $\left(\mathrm{ft}^{2}\right)$

$\mathrm{T}$: Temperature $(\mathrm{R})$

L: Length of Compartment (ft)

Output(s)

C: Communication Factor $\left(\mathrm{SCF} / \mathrm{d} / \mathrm{psi}^{2} / \mathrm{cP}\right)$

Formula(s)

$$ C=\frac{0.111924 * k * A}{T * L} $$
