    Assignment 1

    Date posted: August 31st, 2019

    Due date: September 7nd, 2019

    Question 1:
    The water/air capillary pressure data in table 2.7 were measured for sandstone core from the
    Jayhawk formation. The oil saturated part of the Jayhawk is underlain by a water table at a depth
    of 1500 ft (Sw=100% below this depth). Estimate and plot the water saturation above the 1500 ft
    level. Assume that only water and oil exist in the formation (no gas saturation).

    Additional data: P (at 1500 ft)=750 psia, ρw=1.02 g/cm3, ρo=0.8 g/cm3, ơow = 25 dynes/cm, and ơwo
    = 70 dynes/cm

    Assume that the rock is strongly water-wet; i.e., the contact angle in the presence of air is about
    the same as the contact angle in the presence of oil.

    Question 2:
    Fig. 2.36 shows a gas bubble confined in a 0.0002.in diameter capillary tube. The tube is wet by
    water in the presence of gas and by oil in the presence of gas. The bubble is motionless. The
    contact angles, measured through the wetting phase, are 10° and 30° for the water and oil,
    respectively.

    The pressure in the oil phase is 6.9 x 106 dynes/cm2. The IFT between the water and gas, ơgw, is 70
    dynes/cm and that between the oil and gas, ơgo, is 33 dynes/cm.
    1) Calculate the minimum pressure in the system and indicate the phase in which the
    pressure exist.
    2) What is the pressure in the water phase that will just cause the gas bubble to be displaced
    to the left? At this condition what is the pressure difference between the oil and water
    phases?

    Question 3:
    The following information is available for a sandstone reservoir that is currently at irreducible
    water saturation and is to be waterflooded using a line drive configuration.
    Determine the following using the frontal advance theory.

    i. Surface volume of water displaceable oil present in the reservoir.


    ii. Fractional flow curve for waterflooding.
    iii. Flood front saturation and the fractional flow of water at the front
    iv. Cumulative volume of oil recovered (at surface conditions) up to breakthrough.
    v. Position of the interface between injected water and connate water at time of water
    breakthrough.
    vi. Time of breakthrough of injected water in the producing wells.
    vii. Volume of oil produced at breakthrough time of the injected water.
