It can be seen that for the case of the vertical well above, the flow rate of 1.87 stb/day, at a glance (without any other assessment) is most going to be too small to be economical. There fore it becomes necessary to produce the well at a higher rate. Producing at a higher rate than the critical rate has its problems in that it induces water breakthrough in the well. Thus the need to calculate to reach water breakthrough for the well. Therefore, using the Sobocinski-Cornelius Method, time to breakthrough is given by: ( ) (
