Q1.A 50 cu ft tank contains gas at 50 psi and 50°F. It is connected to another tank that
contains gas at 25 psi and 50°F. When the valve between the two is opened, the
pressure equalizes at 35 psi at 50°F. What is the volume of the second tank?
Solution

Q2.A high-pressure cell has a volume of 0.330 cu ft and contains gas at 2500 psia and
130°F, at which conditions its deviation factor is 0.75. When 43.6 SCF measured at 14.7
psia and 60°F were bled from the cell through a wet test meter, the pressure dropped to
1000 psia, the temperature remaining at 130°F. What is the gas deviation factor at 1000
psia and 130°F?
Solution
From real gas law:
PV =znRT

At initial state:

Q3.A volumetric gas field has an initial pressure of 4200 psia, a porosity of 17.2%, and
connate water of 23%. The gas volume factor at 4200 psia is 292 SCF/cu ft and at 750
psia is 54 SCF/cu ft.
a) Calculate the initial in-place gas in standard cubic feet on a unit basis.
b) Calculate the initial gas reserve in standard cubic feet on a unit basis, assuming an
abandonment pressure of 750 psia.
c) Calculate the initial reserve of a 640-acre unit whose average net productive
formation thickness is 34 ft, assuming an abandonment pressure of 750 psia.
d) Calculate the recovery factor based on an abandonment pressure of 750 psia.

Q5. Determine the original gas-in-place, ultimate recovery and ultimate RF at an
abandonment pressure of 500 psia for the following reservoir.
Gas specific gravity = 0.70(air = 1) Reservoir temperature = 150℉
Original reservoir pressure = 3000 psia Abandonment reservoir pressure = 500 psi

Solution:

Because gas sp.gr is a strong function in Temperature more than pressure, so we

assume that the gas sp.gr is constant.
