KEY CONCEPTS TO BE USED
• Conservation of mass: mass balance• Darcy’s law: equation of motion
(relationship between flow rate, formation and fluid properties and pressure gradient)
• Equation of state: relationship between compressibility, density and pressure
![Page 4: Derivation of the Diffusivity Equation1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071920/55cf993b550346d0339c4d2c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
DERIVATION OF THE DIFFUSIVITY EQUATIONBasic assumptions:• Single phase radial flow • One dimensional horizontal radial flow• Constant formation properties (k, h, ϕ)• Constant fluid properties (µ, B, co)• Slightly compressible fluid with constant
compressibility• Pore volume compressibility is constant (cf)• Darcy’s law is applicable• Neglect gravity effects
