Mud Properties
Oil Ratio (%) 80
Water Ratio (%) 20
Volume Fraction of Solids (Fs) 10
Volume Fraction of Water (Fw) 18
Volume Fraction of Oil (Fo) 72

Compressibility Values
Cw: Water (psi ^ -1) 3.00E-06
Co: Oil (psi ^ -1) 5.00E-06
Cs: Solids (psi ^ -1) 2.00E-07

Effective Compressibility (CE)

Ce = Cw*Fw+Co*Fo+Cs*Fs 4.16E-06

Total Fluid volume

Vi: Theoretical Displacement Volume (m3) 300
