Auswer six questions taking any three from each part

Part A

~ a. What is the major assumption used in writing the diffusivity equation for gas in terms of pressure and
pressure squared?
b. A well is producing only oil at a constant rate of 20 STB/D. The well bore pressure was measured to
be 1380 psia after 13 hours of production. The well was then acidized to drop the skin factor to zero.
After clean up, the well was put back on production at a constant rate of 20 STB/D and after 5 hours,
a wellbore pressure of 2380 psia was measured. Using line source solution determine whether the
acidizing treatment is successful or not? 7

table. The well produces for 1000 hrs at 1000 STB/D. There is a constant pressure boundary 75 feet
away from the well.
