Radius of investigation
Input(s)
k: Permeability $(\mathrm{mD})$
$\mathrm{t}$: Time (h)
$\emptyset$: Porosity (fraction)
$\mu$: Viscosity $(\mathrm{cP})$
$c_{t}$: Total Compressibility $(1 / \mathrm{psi})$
Output(s)
$r_{i}$: Radius of Investigation at the end of Injection Time (ft)
Formula(s)
$$ r_{i}=0.0359 *\left(\left(\frac{k * t}{\phi * \mu * c_{t}}\right)^{0.5}\right) $$
