Wellbore Genius
Perf-cluster designer
Limited-entry diversion screening. Solves per-cluster rate split that equalises (Δp_perf + local stress bias) across clusters at the shared stage rate, and reports the limited-entry verdict against the target Δp_perf [psi].
Stage inputs
Industry rule of thumb: ≥ 500 psi minimum across all clusters for limited-entry uniformity.

Recommended perf count
Floor-rounded number of perfs per cluster to keep Δp_perf at or above the target at a uniform per-cluster rate. Inverts the orifice equation: n = q · √(0.2369·ρ/Δp) / (D²·Cd).
