Consider a two- well system in a homogeneous reservoir with infinite radius of

drainage away from a fault as is indicated in Fig. 1. These two new wells where
completed at the same time and both closed in until the pressure in the reservoir
is stabilized throughout the reservoir, then well #1 is produced for 100 hours, at
which time the pressure in well #2 is measured and found to be 987 psia.
Additional data are:

q1 = 200 STB/D k = 200 md h = 30 ft

 = 3 cp ct = 1.5x10 /psi  = 15 %

a) Determine the distance d.

b) Does the log-approximation to the Ei function apply? If not, when is this
approximation possible?

2. Compute the flow rate per foot of lease for point P on the lease line which is on a
line joining well 2 and 3 as shown in Fig. 2. The lease line is 2640 ft long. Wells
1, 2 and 3 have been producing for 300, 200 and 250 hours at a constant flow
rate of 100, 250 and 200 STB/D, respectively. Other information is given as
follows:
