CHAPTER 3 TPR

QUESTION 1
A well is producing at 1000b/d (95% water cut) with a tubing head pressure of 80psi. The
length of the tubing is 9000ft, with the internal diameter equal to 2.5in. The gas/liquid ratio is
400scf/b and the static reservoir pressure is equal to 2600psi.
Calculate the average productivity index for the well (assuming the bottomhole flowing
pressure is greater than the bubble point pressure).

QUESTION 2
A 2.5in tubing string is 8000ft long. It produces 1000b/d (all water) against a wellhead pressure
of 120psi with a gas liquid ratio of 200scf/b and an average reservoir pressure of 3000psi.
Using gradient curves, determine the average productivity index (assuming it is linear).

QUESTION 3
A well initially produces 800b/d (all oil) against a wellhead pressure of 120psi. The gas liquid
ratio is 300scf/b and the tubing diameter and tubing length are 2in and 7000ft respectively.
a) Calculate the flowing bottomhole pressure, Pwf and the productivity index, PI, assuming
the reservoir is undersaturated and at an average reservoir pressure, of 3500psi.
b) If it assumed that the water cut will increase to 50% (and assuming the gas liquid ratio,
wellhead pressure and average reservoir pressure remain constant) calculate the flowing
bottomhole Pressure, Pwf required to flow this mixture at the same rate.

QUESTION 4
A well produces all oil at a rate of 800b/d against a wellhead pressure of 120psi. The average
Reservoir pressure is 2300psi. The bubble point pressure is 2400psi. The diameter of the
tubing is 2.5in and it is 8500ft in length. The gas liquid ratio is 400scf/b.
Calculate:
a) The average productivity index (assuming it was linear)
b) The maximum oil flow rate (assuming it is Vogel behaviour)
c) Plot the inflow performance relationship.

QUESTION 5
The following test data pertain to a well in a reservoir. Find the tubing size which would be
suitable for this well to produce.
QUESTION 6
A well design has chosen a specific tubing size as shown below. Use gradient curves to
determine the gas liquid ratio required to flow the well.
