Here w and d are width and depth and the units may be meters or millimeters. Alternatively, the diameter may be found from published charts. Using Figure 29.5 a pressure gradient (Pa/m) is chosen and with each change of volume flow a new diameter is found. This is converted to a convenient rectangular section equivalent to the round section. It will be seen that the velocity reduces. 

Calculate the injection pressure for a 50-50 mixture of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. The reservoir is at a pressure of 2000 kPa, is at a depth of 750 m, and is isothermal at 20°C. Assume the acid gas will remain gaseous throughout the injection. Further assume (a) the gas is an ideal gas and (b) the gas is a real gas with properties described by the generalized compressibility chart. Take the properties of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from table 2.1. 

Wave-induced shear stresses can be evaluated using the theory of elasticity. Simple charts for evaluating the shear stress ratio developed at any depth for waves having different characteristics are presented in Figure 9.40. The development of high pore pressures caused by the action of waves on an environment involving sand deposits can lead to instability. This instability is an important concern for many engineering installations, such as pipelines and anchors. 

Drying rate depends on several variables, such as drying time, grain depth, temperature of the heated air, and airflow rate. Final depth is selected by noting the pressure drop in a manometer. Airflow rates are determined from charts supplied with fan unit. Usually, a rate of 450 m /h per m of grain (9 cfm/bu) is... 

While we have demonstrated how quantities of interest, such as permeability, porosity, hydrocarbon viscosity, and pore pressure, can be uniquely obtained, at least from invasion depth data satisfying our equations for piston-like fluid displacement, the actual problem is far from solved even for the simple fluid dynamics model considered here. For one, the tacit assumption that invasion depths can be accurately inferred from resistivity readings is not entirely correct invasion radii are presently extrapolated from resistivity charts that usually assume concentric layered resistivities, which are at best simplified approximations. And second, since tool response and data interpretation introduce additional uncertainties, not to mention unknown three-dimensional geological effects in the wellbore, time lapse analysis is likely to remain an iterative, subjective, and qualitative process in the near future. With these disclaimers said and done, we now demonstrate via numerical examples how formation parameters might be determined from front radii in actual field runs.
