    Here are the key points: - Radial flow models are used to calculate radius of investigation (ROI) during drawdown and buildup tests. - ROI equations depend on permeability, fluid properties, and time. - Higher permeability, fluid mobility, and time increase ROI. Lower permeability and fluid mobility decrease ROI. - Examples are provided to calculate ROI for different reservoir types.

    The document discusses radial flow models in reservoirs and how to calculate the radius of investigation based on reservoir properties and time.

    The radial flow model assumes radial flow of fluids away from the wellbore. It is used to model pressure changes over time and calculate the radius of investigation, which is the area impacted by the well. Equations are provided to calculate radius of investigation for a given time or time to reach a given radius.

    The radius of investigation can be calculated using equations that involve permeability, porosity, fluid properties, pressure, and time. Short and long-time approximations are also provided depending on when they are applicable.
