Abstract
This study discusses the determination of the stabilized flow coefficient, C, in the Rawlins and Schellhardt equation. It is applicable in the reservoir with low porosity and permeability model, usually found in unconventional reservoirs. In determining the flow coefficient, a deliverability test method proposed by Hashem and Kazemi was used during the transient flow period of a gas well. Besides, in determining the deliverability exponent, n, used in the least squared analysis equation derived by Johnston and Lee in the determination of C stabilized so that from each value of n, there will be supporting data for determining stabilized flow coefficient. Finally, the application and previous method will determine the flow coefficient value based on reservoir model time stabilization. Later it compares with the John Lee equation and IPR constructs from the model and John Lee.
