Reservoir Pressure Analysis

The document contains pressure data from static formation tests (RFT) in three wells penetrating the Nubia reservoir formation and the overlying Nezzazat formation. Pressure measurements were taken at various depths in the wells. The data is to be plotted versus depth and used to determine: (1) reservoir pressures in Nubia and Nezzazat formations, (2) oil gradients, (3) presence of water, and (4) whether the formations can be completed as a commingled production. Additional examples provide more pressure data to calculate fluid gradients, fluid contacts, and reservoir pressures.

1. RFT jobs were performed in three early wells which penetrating Nubia reservoir formation.
Static pressure data was taken opposite to Nubia and Nezzazat formation as follow:

Plot the pressure data Vs depth and determine:

 Nubia Reservoir pressure @ 11800’ TVD SS


 Depth of OWC in Nubia formation if exist
 Nubia oil gradient (psi/ft) and was it the same gradient for well A1, A2 & A4?
 Nezzazat Reservoir pressure @ 10920’ TVD SS
 Nezzazat oil gradient
 Is there any aquifer pressure data for the Nezzazat in this area and what does it means?
 Is there a difference between Nubia and Nezzazat pressure and was it possible to complete
wells as a comingle production?

4. A static echo-meter survey was performed in order to determine the reservoir pressure
for an onshore well at 9700 FT- TVD S.S (subsea). the shut-in well head pressure is 800
psi, gas-gradient is 0.02 psi/ft and the oil API is 32. Calculate reservoir pressure if the
well has traces of water cut. (Hint: sonic velocity is 1150 ft/s) and what is your action if
bubble point pressure is 1000 psi?

Hint: Try to use Excel for drawing in order to save more time
