PETR 344 Fall 2021 Production I HW# 1.

1. The original equation defined by Darcy states that:

q=
Where the equation has the following units;

q is flow rate in Cm3/s.

K is permeability in Darcy.
A is cross sectional area in Cm2.
µ is fluid viscosity in Cp.
P is pressure in atm.
S is distance in Cm.

The metric units are:

q is flow rate in m3/D.

K is permeability in md.
A is cross sectional area in m2.
µ is fluid viscosity in Cp.
P is pressure in K Pascal.
S is distance in m.
Express Darcy equation in metric units and calculate the appropriate constant.

2. Write the derivation for Skin factor as a function of wellbore radius,

reservoir permeability and the permeability and radius of the altered area.
Comment on your solution.

3. Solve Problem 2.1 (Page 39 on the book) for skin of Zero, 5, and 10.
