Water influx
These aquifers
may be substantially larger than the oil or gas
reservoirs they adjoin as to appear infinite in size,
and they may be so small in size as to be negligible
in their effect on reservoir performance.
The term “active” water drive refers to the

water encroachment mechanism in which the
rate of water influx equals the reservoir total
production rate. Active water drive reservoirs
are typically characterized by a gradual and
slow reservoir pressure decline.
Infinite system indicates that the effect of the

pressure changes at the oil_aquifer boundary
can never be felt at the outer boundary

Este metodo solo se aplicara cuando el acuifero es del mismo tamaño o menor que el reservorio.
The Schilthuis Steady-State Model

Esta método plantea que la ecuación de Darcy puede aplicarse para determinar el influjo de
agua asumiendo ciertas suposiciones y condiciones.
for an aquifer
that is flowing under the steady-state flow
regime, the flow behavior could be described by
Darcy’s equation. The rate of water influx ew
can then be determined by applying Darcy
The parameter C is called the “water influx constant”

The Hurst Modified Steady - State Equation
One of the problems associated with the
Schilthuis steady-state model is that as the water
is drained from the aquifer, the aquifer drainage
radius ra will increase as the time increases. Hurst
(1943) proposed that the “apparent” aquifer
radius ra would increase with time and, therefore,
the dimensionless radius ra/re may be replaced
with a time-dependent function

van Everdingen and Hurst (1949) proposed

solutions to the dimensionless diffusivity equation
for the following two reservoir_aquifer
boundary conditions:
(1) constant terminal rate;
(2) constant terminal pressure.
For the constant-terminal-rate boundary condition,
the rate of water influx is assumed constant
for a given period, and the pressure drop
at the reservoir_aquifer boundary is calculated.
For the constant-terminal-pressure boundary
condition, a boundary pressure drop is assumed
constant over some finite time period, and the
water influx rate is determined.
Asumiendo:
uniform thickness;
• constant permeability;
uniform porosity;
• constant rock compressibility;
• constant water compressibility.

The Fetkovich Method

method of
describing the approximate water influx behavior
of a finite aquifer for radial and linear
geometries.
this method does not
require the use of superposition.
Is also often utilized in numerical simulation models.
is based on the premise
that the productivity index concept will adequately
describe water influx from a finite aquifer
into a hydrocarbon reservoir.
The method neglects the effects of
any transient period.
Cuando la presion cae rapidamente, el método pierde valor.
Fetkovich suggested that, if the reservoir_aquifer

boundary pressure history is divided into a finite
number of time intervals, the incremental water
influx during the nth interval is:
Fetkovich method can be extended to infinite-
acting aquifers by requiring that the ratio
of water influx rate to pressure drop is approximately
constant throughout the productive life
of the reservoir
