Problem 5-4

West Sparkle Material Balance

Your asset team has selected 37.62 Bsm3 or 1,328 Bcf as the most likely value for the West
Sparkle OGIP. Assume that rock compressibility is sufficiently low that rock compaction can be
ignored.
1. What fraction of the OGIP can be recovered at an abandonment pressure of 1000 psia?
2. Assume that after 1.7 Bsm3 had been produced, a pressure survey indicated that the
reservoir pressure was 4330 psia.
What is the apparent value of OGIP? How does this compare with your volumetric estimate?
What are the possible causes for any discrepancy?
*West Sparkle Gas Properties
During testing of the WS-2 well, a gas sample was obtained with the following composition.
Initial pressure is estimated to be 4500 psia (31,000 kPa). Use a reservoir temperature of 180 F
(82 C).
