A New Pseudo Steady-State Constant for a Vertical Well with Finite-Conductivity Fracture

The Pseudo Steady-State (PSS) constant bDpss is defined as the difference between the dimensionless wellbore pressure and dimensionless average pressure of a reservoir with a PSS flow regime. As an important parameter, bDpss has been widely used for decline curve analysis with Type Curves. For a well with a finite-conductivity fracture, bDpss is independent of time and is a function of the penetration ratio of facture and fracture conductivity. In this study, we develop a new semi-analytical solution for bDpss calculations using the PSS function of a circular reservoir. Based on the semi-analytical solution, a new conductivity-influence function (CIF) representing the additional pressure drop caused by the effect of fracture conductivity is presented. A normalized conductivity-influence function (NCIF) is also developed to calculate the CIF. Finally, a new approximate solution is proposed to obtain the bDpss value. This approximate solution is a fast, accurate, and time-saving calculation.
