Perfect gas law (Boyle and Charles law):

Where p1, V1, and T1 are the pressure, volume, and temperatures of gas state 1
And p2, V2, and T2 in state 2.

Substituting values of standard condition in above equation:

This relationship for perfect gases is called the ideal gas law and is expressed
mathematically by the following equation:
pV = nRT (1)
Where,
p = absolute pressure, psia
V = volume, ft3
T = absolute temperature, °R
n = number of moles of gas, lb-mol
R = the universal gas constant which has the value 10.730 psia ft3/ lb-mol °R

The fluid property and well data are given below:

Gas specific gravity = 0.76 , Ppc = 667 psia, Tpc = 408 Rº ,

Pts = 2200 psia Tts = 20 Fº , Tws = 200 Fº , L= 8000 ft ,
angle = 0º (vertical well)

CALCUALTE:
1) Static Bottom Hole Pressure (NOTE: do only initial & second
Iterations)
2) The True Vertical Depth (TVD) of the well if the angle = 30º
(slant well)
1) Pws = 2640 psia
P¯= 2420 psia , T¯= 570 Rº
Ppr = 3.62 , Tpr = 1.397 = 1.4
Z¯= 0.705 , S = 0.567 , Pws = 2921.09 psia
Second Iteration:
P¯= 2560.5 psia Ppr= 3.84 , Tpr= 1.397=1.4
Z¯= 0.71 , S = 0.563 , Pws = 2915.25 psia

2) TVD= 8000 x cos(30) = 6928.2 psia
