    This document contains an assignment for an introduction to petroleum engineering course. It includes three problems: 1) describing primary production drive mechanisms and reservoir energies, 2) calculating relative permeabilities from coreflood data and defining critical properties, and 3) deriving equations for radial flow and average permeability and plotting well productivity curves for different skin factors.

    ENPE 241 Introduction to Petroleum Engineering

    Assignment No. 4: Fall 2013


    Due Date: 2:00 PM on November 8, 2013

    1. Describe four major types of drive mechanisms for primary production and state the dominant
    reservoir energy in each type of the drive mechanisms.

    2. If the flow rates are measured at 100% saturation and the other saturations, respectively, no
    other details about a core plug is needed for calculating relative permeabilities. Table 1 shows the
    oil and water flow rates at the corresponding water saturation in a steady-state experiment.
    1) Calculate the relative permeability for the oil-water system and plot the oil and water relative
    permeabilities versus water saturation.
    2) Define the critical water saturation, residual oil saturation on the relative permeability curve.
    3) Is this a water-wet or oil-wet system? Provide your justification.

    1) Derive the radial flow equation with skin effect.
    2) Derive the following formula for the average permeability of the system without skin effect:

    3) With the above average permeability, draw the well IPR curves for skin factors equal to -5, 0, 5,
    respectively. Use a drainage radius, ft r
