Exercise N°1: Material Balance: Aquifer Activity

The initial reservoir pressure of an oil reservoir is just the saturation pressure (i.e. no gas cap). The
OOIP is estimated at 14.5 x 106 stb. The following table gives the pressure, fluid properties and
production data:

1- Calculate the water influx We for Np = 1.715 x 106 stb and Np = 3.430 x 106 stb
2- Estimate the cumulative production at PR = 1000 psi
SOLUTION

Swi= 0,25 N( stb)= 1,45E+06

Cf (psi^)1)= 4,95E-06
Cw(psi^)1)= 3,26E-06
