?Q1.what is worng with the following definition

Reserves are those quantities of petroleum which are anticipated to be "


" recovered from a petroleum accumulation

Solution

Reserves are those quantities of petroleum which are anticipated to be


commercially
 recovered from a petroleum accumulation.

Q2.If the average pressure gradient in a region 0.47psi/ft , calculate


the pore pressure in a normally pressurized formation at
7400ft .convert the pressure from psi to KPa, then express the
?pressure in MPa. What is the pressure gradient in KPa/m

SOLUTION
Pw=¿¿

Pressure in formation = 0.47 * 7400 = 3478 psi

?Convert the pressure from psi to KPa

Converting to KPa = 3478 / 0.145 = 23986 KPa

?Convert the pressure from psi to MPa

Kpa Converting to MPa = 23986 / 1000 = 23.99 MPa

?Convert the pressure from psi to KPa/m


Pressure gradient= 0.47 psi/ft (0.47 /
0.145) KPa/ft = 3.2414 KPa/ft

KPa/m )0.3048/ 3.2414( =

Q5.calculate the arithmetic average and thickness-weighted average


:from the following measurements
sample h,ft Ø%, So , % Swc , %
1 1.0 10 75 25
2 1.5 12 77 23

4 2.0 13 74 26
5 2.1 14 78 22
6 1.1 10 75 25

SOLUTION

 Arithmetic average

Ø¿ 6
= 11.67 %

 Thickness-weighted average

( 1 )( 10 ) + ( 1.5 ) ( 12 ) + ( 1 )( 11 ) + ( 2 ) ( 13 ) + ( 2.1 )( 14 ) +(1.1)(10)


Ø= 1+ 1.5+ 1+ 2+ 2.1+ 1.1

Q6.An oil reservoir exists at its bubble-point pressure of 207bar and


temperature of and gas-oil ratio of 600 scf/STB. The specific gravity
of the solution gas is 0.65.the following additional data are also
:available

Reservoir area=259hectares

Connate water saturation=0.25

Average thickness =10ft

Effective porosity =15%


Calculate the initial oil in place in STB
