CONVERSION OF DIFFUSIVITY EAYATION INTO DIMENSIONLESS
VARIABLE FORM:
Diffusivity equation for oil and gas contains many variables which are dependent on time and space, so
in order to make it simpler we convert it into dimensionless variable form so that we have only one
variable which is dependent on time and space.
DIFFUSIVITY EQUATION FOR INCOMPREESIBLE FLUID (OIL):
For Linear Flow:

DIFFUSIVITY EQUATION FOR COMPREESIBLE FLUID (GAS):
For Linear Flow:

To linearize the above diffusivity equation for all pressure ranges we will use the
pseudopressure transformation introduced by Al- Hussainy
By Al-Hussainy,

Using Liebnitzs Rule:-

By Substituting Values of

and

from above equations into diffusivity equation we get:-
