How to Calculate and Solve for Reservoir Radius and Well Spacing | The Calculator Encyclopedia
Last Updated on February 20, 2024
To calculate the reservoir radius, one essential parameter is needed and this parameter is Well Spacing (A).
The formula for calculating the reservoir radius:
re = √[43560A / π]
Where;
re = Reservoir Radius
A = Well Spacing
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the well spacing of a reservoir radius is 42. Find the reservoir radius.
This implies that;
A = Well Spacing = 42
re = √[43560A / π]
re = √[43560 x 42 / π]
So, re = √[1829520 / π]
re = √582354.3
re = 763.12
Therefore, the reservoir radius is 763.12 ft.
Calculating the well spacing (A) when the Reservoir Radius is Given
A = π x re2 / 43560
Where;
A = Well Spacing
re = Reservoir Radius
Let’s solve an example;
Find the well spacing when the reservoir radius is 60.
This implies that;
re = Reservoir Radius = 60
A = π x re2 / 43560
A = π x 602 / 43560
Then, A = π x 3600 / 43560
A = 11309.73 / 43560
A = 0.259
Therefore, the well spacing is 0.259.
