15. A well is located in the center of 640 acre circular drainage area. The
formation, fluids and well properties are: q =606 STB/D; ct = 18,0 x 10-6 psi-1;
 = 0,306 cp; A = 640 acres;  = 1,593 RB/STB; rw = 0,25 ft; k = 17,5 md;
s = 12; h = 103 ft; pi = 4250 psi;  = 12%; Tf = 275°F.
Calculate:

A) The additional pressure drop Dps due to the skin factor.

Dps = 141,2[(q*B*)/(k*h)]*s = 141,2[(606*1,593*0,306)/(17,5*103)]*12

Dps = 277,7 psi

B) The pressure at the wellbore pwf when the average reservoir pressure p is
4100 psia.

re = (A/) ½ = (640*43500/) ½ = 2977 ft

pwf = p – 141,2[(q*B*)/(k*h)][ln(re/rw) – ¾ +s]

pwf = 4100-141,2[(606*1,593*0,306)/(17,5*103)][ln(2977/0,25) – ¾ + 12]

pwf = 3622,5 psi*

C) The flow rate q which would be obtained for a drawdown p – pwf of
500 psia if an acid job was performed, changing the skin factor s from 12
to –2.

q = (p – pwf)*[141,2*(B*)/(k*h)]-1*[ln(re/rw) – ¾ + s]-1
q = 500*[141,2(1,593*0,306)/(17,5*103)]-1*[ln(2977/0,25) – ¾ + -2]

q = 1973,5 STB/D
16. There are two wells in a formation. Well A and Well B. We are interested at
the pressure a third location in the formation. Point C. Some additional
information: k = 50 md; Bo = 1,345 RB/STB;  = 0,18;  = 0,256 cp; h = 22 ft;
cw = 21 x 10-6 psi-1; qA = 1240 STB/D; tA = 4 hrs; rAC = 660 ft; sA = 0;
qB = 1240 STB/D; tB = 16 hrs; rBC = 1320 ft; sB = 0,5.

a) Calculate the pressure drop DpAC at point C due to Well A, a distance 660
feet away from Point C. Well A has been producing at 1240 STB/D for 4
hours.

DpAC = [(70,6*qA*B*/(k*h)]*Ei[(-948***ct*rAC2)/(k*t)
DpAC =[(70,6*1240*1,345*0,256)/(50*22)] * {Ei [(-948*0,18*0,256*21x10-6*
6602)/(50*4)]= -0,0489}

DpAC = -1,34 psi

b) Calculate the pressure drop DpBC at point C due to Well B, a distance
1320 feet away from Point C. Well B has been producing at 1240 STB/D
for 16 hours.

DpAC = [(70,6*qB*B*/(k*h)]*Ei[(-948***ct*rBC2)/(k*t)
DpAC =[(70,6*1240*1,345*0,256)/(50*22)] * {Ei [(-948*0,18*0,256*21x10-6*
13202)/(50*16)]= -0,0489}

DpBC = -1,34 psi

c) Calculate the pressure pC at point C due to the combined influence of

Wells A and B, if the initial reservoir pressure is 2776 psi.
pC = pi + DpAC + DpBC = 2776 – 1,34 – 1,34

pC = - 2773,32 psi
17. Three explorations wells have been drilled into a
newly discovered oil reservoir. Well B is 1400 ft from
Well A, Well C is 2200 ft from Well A, and Well C is
3000 ft from Well B.

Well A is an observation well (it has a pressure

gauge in the hole to measure the pressure response
due to production from wells B and C, but is not itself used for production).
Well C begins producing at 200 STB/D at time t = 0. Well B begins
producing at 100 STB/D 48 hours later.
Reservoir data: o = 0,27 cp; ct = 1,8x10-5 psi-1; o = 1,23 RB/STB
pi = 2727 psi; k = 42 md;  = 22%; h = 7,5 ft

a) Calculate the pressure drop at Well A due to production from well B at

time t = 144 hrs.

DpBA = [(70,6*qB*B*/(k*h)]*Ei[(-948***ct*rBA2)/(k*t)
DpAC =[(70,6*100*1,23*0,27)/(42*7,5)] * {Ei [(-948*0,22*0,27*1,8x10-5*

DpBC = -4,26 psi

b) Calculate the pressure drop at Well A due to production from Well C at

time t = 144 hrs.

DpCA = [(70,6*qC*B*/(k*h)]*Ei[(-948***ct*rBA2)/(k*t)
DpAC =[(70,6*200*1,23*0,27)/(42*7,5)] * {Ei [(-948*0,22*0,27*1,8x10-5*
22002)/(42*144)]= -0,305}

DpAC = -4,54 psi

c) Calculate the pressure drop at Well A due to its own skin factor at time
t = 144 hrs.

DpsA = 141,2[(qA*B*/(k*h)]*s
DpsA = 141,2[(0*1,23*0,27/(42*7,5)]*5

DpsA = 0
d) Calculate the pressure at Well A at time t = 144 hrs

pwf,A = pi – DpsA + DpAC + DpBC

pwf,A = 2727 – 0 – 4,54 – 4,26

pwf,A = 2707,66 psi

The well produces for 1000 hours at 1000 STB/D. there is a linear, no-flow

23. Given a well in an infinite-acting reservoir, having the following properties:
 = 0,7 cp; ct = 2x10-5 psi-1;  = 1,13 RB/STB; rw = 0,333 ft; k = 7,5 md; s =3;
h =25 ft; pi =3000 psi;  =20%; q1 = 100 STB/D; q2 = 0 STB/D; t1 = 1000 hrs;
t2 = 1010 hrs.
The well produces for 1000 hours at 100 STB/D, and is then shut-in.
Calculate and plot the pressure at t = 1010 hrs as a function of r on semilog
graph paper (put r on the semilogarithmic axis) using superposition in time
and the Ei solution (or its logarithmic approximation) for r = 0,5, 1, 2, 5, 10,
20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 10000 feet

pi – p = – 70,6*[(B*)/(k*h)]*{(q1 – 0)*Ei[-948*(**ct*r2)/(k*t)] + (q2 –

q1)*Ei[-948***ct*r2/k(t – t1)]}

pi – p= – 70,6*[(1,13*0,7/(7,5*25)]*{(100–0)*Ei[-948*(0,20*0,7*2,0x10-5*
r2)/(7,5*1010)]+(0 – 100)*Ei[-948*0,20*0,7*2,0x10-5*r2/7,5(1010–
1000)]}

pi – p = –29,784*Ei(-3,504x10-7*r2) + 29,784*Ei(-3,539x10-5*r2)

p|1010 hrs = 3000+29,784*[Ei({-3,504x10-7*r2}= x)–Ei({-3,539x10-5*r2}= y)]
