Stimulated well drainage

4/π is the maximum possible stimulation well potential for steady state linear flow in a square well spacing.

Math & Physics

Steady state flow boundary conditions:

P |_{x=x_e/2} = P |_{x=-x_e/2} = P_i
\frac{dP}{dt} =0\ for \ \forall x

From Darcy's law:

\frac{q}{2}=\frac{kA}{\mu}\ \frac{dP}{dx}
A =y_e*h
dP=\frac{q \mu}{2ky_eh} dx

Integration gives: P-P_{wf}=\frac{q \mu}{2ky_eh} x

Since average pressure is: \bar P = \frac{\int P dx}{\int dx}

\bar P = \frac{ \int \limits_{0}^{x_e/2} \left ( \frac{q \mu}{2ky_eh} x + P_{wf} \right ) dx}{\int dx} = \left. \frac{q \mu}{2ky_eh} \frac{x}{2} \right|_{x=0}^{x=x_e/2} + P_{wf} = \frac{q \mu x_e}{8ky_eh} + P_{wf}
J_D=\frac{q \mu}{2 \pi k h} \frac{1}{( \bar P - P_{wf})} =\frac{q \mu}{2 \pi k h} \frac{8ky_eh}{q \mu x_e} = \frac{4y_e}{\pi x_e}=\frac{4}{\pi}
