Abstract

Oil and gas accumulations located in the porous spaces of the formation exist as a single hydraulically connected system and are factors of many physico-chemical processes that occur, depending on the different conditions that develop in the layer. The study of fluid filtration in porous media, their type, the condition in which the flow occurs and its geometric form, are the main key in which the testing of a well begins and then the determination of various hydrodynamic parameters. In reservoir engineering, the stages of filtration that develop and the changes that occur in the phase state of the fluid are closely related to the changes that occur in the pressure of the reservoir, which characterizes the energy of the layer for the production of fluids on the surface. Radial flow is used in many practical applications in solving various problems encountered in reservoir engineering and precisely the main objective of this paper, is to present a solution of the average pressure of the reservoir in the case of radial flow using a mathematical approach.
