1) A single well located in a deepwater reservoir is producing oil at a constant rate of 5500 STB/D. Calculate the pressure at the wellbore and at a location 500 feet away from the well after 5 days, and 10 days of production. The drainage boundary of the well is located 1000 feet away. Other rock and fluid propertiesof the reservoir are as follows:

Initial pressure, 19,250 psia Formation permeability, 7 md Total compressibility, 4 106 psi1 Oil FVF, 1.1 RB/STB Wellbore radius, rw 0.5 ft

Formation thickness, 345 ft Formation porosity, 0.19 Oil viscosity, 4.5 cp Reservoir boundary, 1000 ft skin factor: 2

2) Calculate the total pressure drop at an observation well located 1500 feet from a producing well in a virgin reservoir. The single production well was maintained at a constant production rate of 300 STB/D for 10 days; then the rate was increased to a constant rate of 500 STB/D for an additional 25 days. The initial reservoir pressure was 2500 psia. Assume the reservoir was infiniteacting during this test. Other reservoir and fluid properties are as follows:

Initial pressure, 2500 psia Formation permeability, 300 md Total compressibility, 6 _ 106 psi1 Oil FVF, 1.2 RB/STB

Formation thickness, 15 ft Formation porosity, 0.24 Oil viscosity, 4.2 cp Wellbore radius, rw 0.5 ft

3) A reservoir at initial pressure of 2500 psia has two wells (Well A and Well B) on production for 35 days from initial production. Well A produced at a constant rate of 500 STB/D and is located 750 feet from an observation well. Well B produced at a constant rate of 300 STB/D and is located 1000 feet from the same observation well. If the reservoir is infinite in size, calculate the total pressure drop measured at the observation well at the end of 35 days. This reservoir has the same rock and fluid properties as the reservoir in previous case.

4) Asume that the well in case 2, is 1500 feet from a sealing fault. Calculate the total pressure drop at the wellbore.

5) Three exploration wells have been drilled into a newly discovered oil reservoir. Well B is 1400 feet from well A, Well C is 2200 ft from A and Well C is 3000 ft from B. A 2200 ft C 1400 ft 3000 ft 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=0. Well B begins producing at 100 STB/D 48 hours later.
