Aquifer Influx: An Introduction
Inside this lesson
- Explain how a connected aquifer provides water influx We that replaces produced voidage and supports pressure
- Distinguish edge-water from bottom-water drive, and weak/moderate/strong aquifer strength
- Name the two influx modelling families conceptually - steady-state (Schilthuis) and unsteady-state (van Everdingen-Hurst, Fetkovich tank)
- Solve for water influx from a material-balance closure, We = F - N Et
