WET GAS RESERVOIR GAS-IN-PLACE

The following wet gas reservoir produces separator gas, separator condensate and fresh water.

1. Given the attached pressure and production history, estimate the original gas-in-place.
Assume that rock compressibility is sufficiently low that rock compaction can be ignored.

2. The abandonment pressure has been set at 500 psia (p/z). What is the estimated ultimate
recovery of wet reservoir gas? What are the corresponding volumes of sales gas and
condensate?
