Effective wellbore radius of a well in presence of uniform-flux fractures
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{f}}\): Fracture Half Length \((\mathrm{ft})\)
e: Logarithmic Constant \(=2.718\) (dimensionless)
Output(s)
\(\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{w}}\): Effective Wellbore Radius ( \(\mathrm{ft}\) )
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{w}}=\frac{\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{f}}}{\mathrm{e}}
\]
