ASSIGNMENT ONE: To be submitted on Tuesday 08 – Aug - 2020

NB: Some of the data in the following questions are given based on your matric number. LL is the last
two digits and FF is the first two digits of your matric number.
1. Given a reservoir with the following properties:
𝑃𝑖 = 3500  + 100(𝐹𝐹/𝐿𝐿)𝑝𝑠𝑖 𝑟𝑤 = 0.25 𝑓𝑡
𝑞 = 250 𝑆𝑇𝐵/𝐷 𝑘 = 25 + 10(𝐹𝐹/𝐿𝐿)𝑚𝑑
𝑐𝑡 = 20 × 10−6 𝑝𝑠𝑖 −1 𝑠=5
𝜇 = 1𝑐𝑝 ℎ = 60 𝑓𝑡
𝑟𝑒 = 0.25 𝑓𝑡 𝝓 = 20%
𝐵 = 1.25 𝑅𝐵/𝑆𝑇𝐵
a. Calculate the time at which the Ei function solution first becomes valid.
b. Calculate the time after which the Ei function solution is no longer valid.
c. Calculate and plot the pressure as a function of position on a semilog graph paper at
t=100 hours using the Ei function solution (or its logarithmic approximation) for r = 0.25 ft, r =
2 ft, r = 10 ft, r = 50 ft, r = 100 ft, r = 500 ft, r = 1000 ft, r = 2000ft, r = 3000 ft. Use the log
approximation only if it is valid.
d. Calculate the additional pressure drop due to the skin factor.
2. High Hopes Operating, Inc. has just completed the discovery well in the Yellow Sandstone formation.
There are three phases present in the formation, but oil is the only mobile phase. The following formation,
well, and fluid properties apply:
𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑡ℎ = 4356 + 10(𝐹𝐹/𝐿𝐿) 𝑓𝑡 ℎ = 22 𝑓𝑡
𝑃𝑖 = 950 𝑝𝑠𝑖𝑎 𝑟𝑤 = 9 𝑖𝑛.
𝜙 = 12% 𝑘 = 35.5 + 10(𝐹𝐹/𝐿𝐿)𝑚𝑑
𝛾0 = 32.5 ° 𝐴𝑃𝐼 𝛾𝑔 = 0.893
𝑆𝑤 = 18% 𝐶𝑤 = 2.6 𝑋 10−5 𝑝𝑠𝑖 −1
𝑆𝑔 = 16% 𝐶𝑔 = 1.188 𝑋 10−3 𝑝𝑠𝑖 −1
𝑆0 = 66% 𝐶0 = 4.23 𝑋 10−4 𝑝𝑠𝑖 −1
𝜇0 = 1.17 𝑐𝑝 𝐶𝑓 = 5 X 10−06 𝑝𝑠𝑖 −1
𝑅𝑆0 = 226 𝑠𝑐𝑓/𝑆𝑇𝐵 𝐵0 = 1.146 𝑅𝐵/𝑆𝑇𝐵
𝑠= 0 𝑞 = 165 + 10(𝐹𝐹/𝐿𝐿)𝑆𝑇𝐵/𝐷
Calculate:

a. The total compressibility Ct.


b. The time at which the Ei function solution first becomes valid.
c. The pressure at the wellbore after the well has been producing for 1 hour.
d. The pressure 10 ft from the center of the wellbore after 1 hour.
e. The pressure 100 ft from the center of the wellbore after 1 hour.
3. A drawdown test is run on an oil well at a series of three different rates, with each flow period lasting
3 hours. Given the following formation and fluid properties, estimate formation permeability and skin
factor from the test data using the multirate analysis method: 𝑞1 = 15 𝑆𝑇𝐵/𝐷; 𝑞2 = 30 𝑆𝑇𝐵/𝐷; 𝑞3 =
45 𝑆𝑇𝐵/𝐷; 𝑝𝑖 = 5883.16 + 5(𝐹𝐹/𝐿𝐿)𝑝𝑠𝑖; ℎ = 13 𝑓𝑡; 𝜙 = 17.7 + 5(𝐹𝐹/𝐿𝐿)%; 𝑟𝑤 = 0.42 𝑓𝑡; 𝐵 =
1.231 𝑅𝐵/𝑆𝑇𝐵; 𝐶𝑡 = 9.79 𝑋 10−06 𝑝𝑠𝑖 −1 ; 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝜇 = 3.371 𝑐𝑝.

4. Estimate formation permeability and skin factor from the buildup test data, given the following
formation and fluid properties: ℎ = 62 + 5(𝐹𝐹/𝐿𝐿)𝑓𝑡; 𝜙 = 21.5 %; 𝑟𝑤 = 0.26 𝑓𝑡; 𝐵 = 1.163 𝑅𝐵/
𝑆𝑇𝐵; 𝐶𝑡 = 8.38𝑥10−06 ; 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝜇 = 2.19 𝑐𝑝. Note that the short final flow period makes use of the Horner
pseudo producing time approximation inappropriate. The well was producing at a rate of 180 STB/D and
90 STB/D for 144 hrs and 6 hrs, respectively before it was shut in.
