 RESERVOIR ENGINEERING HANDBOOK

1. Why do the expansion test performed and which are the purposes? (Pag.
137)
Constant-composition expansion experiments are performed on gas condensates
or crude oil to simulate the pressure-volume relations of these hydrocarbon
systems. The test is conducted for the purposes of determining:
• Saturation pressure (bubble-point or dew-point pressure)
• Isothermal compressibility coefficients of the single-phase fluid in excess of
saturation pressure
• Compressibility factors of the gas phase
• Total hydrocarbon volume as a function of pressure

2. What is the laboratory analysis of gas - condensate system? (pag. 171)

A standard analysis of a gas-condensate sample consists of:

• Recombination and analysis of separator samples
• Measuring the pressure-volume relationship, i.e., constant-composition expansion
test
• Constant-volume depletion test (CVD)

3. When are linear flow occurs in reservoirs? (pag. 338)

Linear flow occurs when flow paths are parallel and the fluid flows in a single
direction. In addition, the cross-sectional area to flow must be constant. A common
application of linear flow equations is the fluid flow into vertical hydraulic fractures.

4. How the principle of superposition applies to the effect of multiple wells?

(pag. 442)
The superposition concept states that the total pressure drop at any point in the
reservoir is the sum of the pressure changes at that point caused by flow in each of
the wells in the reservoir. In other words, we simply superimpose one effect upon
the other.
5. What is a pressure drawdown test? (pag. 454)
A pressure drawdown test is simply a series of bottom-hole pressure
measurements made during a period of flow at constant producing rate. Usually
the well is shut-in prior to the flow test for a period of time sufficient to allow the
pressure to equalize throughout the formation, i.e., to reach static pressure.
