J - well productivity index characterizes how much oil or water the well can produce per unit of pressure drop.

From the Darcy's law the J in pseudo-steady state is as follows:

{J} = \frac{q}{\bar{P} - P_{wf}}

{J} = \frac{kh}{141.2 B \mu} {J_D} = \frac{kh}{141.2 B \mu} \frac{1}{ln{\frac{r_e}{r_w}-\frac{3}{4}+S}}

{q} = \frac{kh}{141.2 B \mu} (\bar{P} - P_{wf}) J_D

The maximum possible stimulated well potential for pseudo steady linear flow is:

${J_D}_{max}= \frac{6}{\pi} \approx 1.91$ , see 6/π stimulated well potential

The maximum possible stimulated well potential for steady state linear flow is:

${J_D}_{max}= \frac{4}{\pi} \approx 1.27$ , see 4/π stimulated well potential
