Dimensionless pressure drop during pseudo-steady state flow for a horizontal well in a bounded reservoir

Input(s)

$t_{D A}$: Dimensionless Time (dimensionless)

$C_{A h}$: Shape Factors for Horizontal Wells (dimensionless)

L: Length of Horizontal Well (ft)

A: Drainage Area (ft)

Output(s)

$P_{D}$: Wellbore Dimensionless Pressure Drop (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

$$ P_{D}=2 * \pi * t_{D A}+0.5 * \ln \left(\frac{A}{4 *\left(\left(\frac{L}{2}\right)^{2}\right)}\right)+0.5 * \ln \left(\frac{2.2458}{C_{A h}}\right)+0.5 * 2.77 $$
