Is it also true that the flow rate from the well also affects total recovery (probably for similar physics reasons to what you already illustrated)?
I remember when people used to write articles about how they suspected the Saudis were 'damaging' their oilfields by drawing them down at too high a rate. But I've been hearing that for 20 years and I would have expected the facade would begin to slip if they pundits were correct.
