Tutorial - Flow in Porous Media

This document provides three examples of calculating pressure profiles and flow rates through porous media: 1. Calculating and plotting the pressure profile for incompressible fluid flow through a 2500 ft linear system with given properties. 2. Calculating the gas flow rate for a gas flowing through a 2000 ft linear reservoir system between given upstream and downstream pressures. 3. Calculating and plotting the pressure profile around an oil well producing at 1000 STB/day given the well, pay zone, and fluid properties.

TUTORIAL : Flow through porous media

1. An incompressible fluid flows in a linear porous media with the following properties. L = 2500 ft k = 50 md inlet pressure = 2100 psi h = 30 ft width = 500 ft = 17% = 2 cp Q = 4 bbl/day = 45 lb/ft3

Calculate and plot the pressure profile throughout the linear system. 2. A 0.7 specific gravity gas is flowing in a linear reservoir system at 150oF. The upstream and downstream pressures are 2000 and 1800 psi, respectively. The system has the following properties: L = 2000 ft k = 40 md Calculate the gas flow rate. 3. An oil well is producing a crude oil system at 1000 STB/day and 2000 psi of bottom-hole flowing pressure. The pay zone and the producing well have the following characteristics: h = 35 ft API = 45o k = 80 md rw = 0.25 ft g = 0.72 T = 100oF drainage area = 40 acres Rs = 700 scf/STB W = 300 ft = 15% h = 15 ft

Assuming steady-state flowing conditions, calculate and plot the pressure profile around the wellbore.
