Formula 4.39
Fracture-fluid invasion of the formation (acidizing)
Input(s)
$\Delta P_{v}$ : Pressure difference between the fracture wall and the interface between the penetrating fracture fluid-formation fluids (psi)
$\mu$: Viscosity $(\mathrm{cP})$
Ø: Porosity (per cent)
$k$ : Permeability (Darcy)
$\mathrm{t}$: Time $(\min )$
Output(s)
$v_{N}$: Fluid Loss Velocity (ft/min)
Formula(s)
$$ v_{N}=0.0374 \sqrt{\frac{k \emptyset\left(\Delta P_{v}\right)}{\mu t}} $$
