PETR3511/PETR8053 FINAL EXAM 2010 SECTION A (30 Marks): There are six questions in this section. Please provide your answers on the answer book, clearly stating the question number. 1) (5%) Define dissolved gas-oil ratio, Rs , and volatilized oil-gas ratio, Rv . Assuming a single-phase oil reservoir, what is the relation between Rs and Rv ?

2) (5%) Define the compressibility for gas. Discuss how the reservoir pressure affects the compressibility for the ideal gas.

3) (5%) For a single phase oil reservoir, use the initial free phase oil, N foi , and the initial dissolved gas-oil ratio, Rsi , to define OOIP (original oil in place) and OGIP (original gas in place). 4) (5%) Use two-phase oil formation volume factor to define the oil phase expansivity. Discuss how the oil phase expansivity changes as the reservoir pressure decreases.

5) (5%) Define the relative permeability and explain why neither of the two relative permeabilities in a two-phase reservoir can ever be greater than 1.

6) (5%) Name three factors that affect the hydraulic diffusivity. Discuss how each of them affects the magnitude of the hydraulic diffusivity.

PETR3511/PETR8053 FINAL EXAM 2010 SECTION B (20 Marks): There is one question in this section. Please provide your answers on the answer book, clearly stating the question number.

A small gas reservoir has an initial pressure of 3000 psia and temperature of 220F. The following table gives the pressure and production history.
SECTION 2: Pressure and Production History

p( psi )
3000 2500 2000 1500

G p (106 scf )
0 100 300 500

Bg (res ft 3 / scf )
0.0055 0.006 0.007 0.008

Complete the following questions: 1. Calculate the gas expansivity, E g , at the end of each interval. 2. Calculate the accumulative production gas volume at the reservoir condition at the end of each interval. 3. Assuming no water influx and neglecting formation compressibility, calculate the OGIP using production data at the end of each interval 4. Discuss your calculated OGIPs and explain why they indicate a waterdrive. 5. Assuming the real OGIP is equal to 1000 10 scf , use the MBE,
6

F = G fgi (Bg Bgi ) + W , to calculate the water influx, W , at the end of each
interval.

SECTION C (10 Marks): There is one question with two parts in this section. Please

provide your answers on the answer book, clearly stating the question number.

PART I (5%): For a one-dimensional incompressible flow system as defined in the following graph, the pressure distribution along the flow path, p ( x ) , is determined by the permeability distribution only. Use the information given in the graph to

determine the pressure distribution along the flow path.

No Flow

p1 = 10 psi

k1 = 10000 mD
No Flow

k2 = 10mD

PART II (5%): Assuming the flowing liquid in Part I is an ideal gas and k1 = k 2 = k , the relation between the gas density, , and the gas pressure, p , can be defined as

= p ( is a constant). Assuming the viscosity as , prove that the Darcy

velocity, u x , can be calculated as
