Fecha de asignacin: Mircoles Septiembre 05 de 2012 Fecha de entrega: Jueves 13 de 2012 Instructor: Dr. Freddy H. Escobar 1. A well is producing at a rate of 700 STB/D from a reservoir which has the following rock and fluid characteristics: k = 150 md h = 30 ft = 0.5 % rw = 3 in = 5 cp co = 8x10-6 psi-1 B = 1.2 bbl/STB cf = 2x10-6 psi-1

a) After what value of the flowing time is the approximation Ei(-x) ln (1.78 X) valid for this reservoir? What does this suggest ? b) What is the pressure drop at the well after flowing for 3 hours? c) Calculate the pressure gradient at a point 150 ft away from the well after 3 hours of production. 3. The following data correspond to a reservoir which has only two producer wells. The distance between the two wells is 1000 ft. = 20 % h = 100 ft cf = 2x10-6 /psi co = 3x10-6 /psi k = 100 md = 5 cp Pi = 2500 psia B = 1.2 bbl/STB rw = 6 in re = 4000 ft s well A = 5 s well B = 0 An interference test was run in this system. At the beginning both wells were closed and stabilized. A pressure recorder with a precision of 0.001 psi was run in well B. Then well A was opened to produce 100 BOPD. What is the required time for the perturbation generated in well A to be reach well B? 4. It is desired to estimate the current pressure of a point N located 500 ft north from another well lying 500 ft east of a north-south flow barrier. The well has produced 230000 STB during one year at a constant rate. Reservoir an fluid properties are: s = -3 = 5 cp = 18 % Pi = 3500 psi h = 120 ft rw = 4 in B = 1.1 bbl/STB ct = 2x10-5 /psi k = 2 Darcies

What is the current well flowing pressure for this well? 8. An oil well is producing at a constant flow rate of 450 STB/D from a very large reservoir. An observation shut-in well is located 500 ft away. Rock and fluid properties are listed

below. Estimate the sandface pressure at both the producing well and the observation well at the end of two days of production. The initial reservoir pressure is 3600 psia. Other relevant data are: B = 1.2 rb/STB = 20 % ct = 16x10-6 /psi rw = 3 in k = 230 md t = 48 hrs = 1.2 cp h = 35 ft

9. A new oil well is placed on production at a rate of 160 STB/day. Given the rock and fluid properties below, calculate the pressure at rw, 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 ft after 0.5 hours. Repeat these calculations at a producing time of 50 hours. Plot the pressure versus distance on Cartesian paper for t=0.5 and t=50 hours. B = 1.25 rb/STB = 12 % ct = 13x10-6 /psi rw = 0.33 ft k = 150 md Pi = 2500 psia = 1.8 cp h = 45 ft

Fig. 1. Wells location for problem 10 10. Two oil wells are producing at constant flow rates of q 1 = 300 BPD and q2 = 500 BPD, respectively, from a very large reservoir. Well 2 is located at 400 ft East away from well 1, as shown in figure 1. An observation shut-in well is located 500 ft North away from well 1. Rock and fluid properties are listed below. B = 1.3 rb/STB = 20 % ct = 26x10-6 /psi rw = 0.33 ft k = 400 md t = 2 days = 3.1 cp h = 40 ft Pi = 4350 psi

Estimate the sandface pressure at the producing wells and the pressure drop at the observation well (shut-in well) at the end of two days of production.

11. If the wells depicted by Fig. 2 are placed on production at the same time, compute the flowing pressure for the three wells after 72 hours of production. q1 = 100 STB/D q2 = 200 STB/D q3 = 300 STB/D r12 = 800 ft r13 =500 ft =26 % ct = 44.6x10-6 psi-1 h = 24 ft k = 56 md r23 = 600 ft rw1 = rw2 = rw3 =0.33 ft B = 1.35 RB/ STB = 6 cp Pi = 4335 psia

What assumption is made in these calculations concerning the location of reservoir boundaries?
