Q1)
Assume that a cylindrical reservoir with radius 1500 ft , thickness 50 ft, porosity 20% and permeability
80 mD produces gas with specific gravity 0.6 under the semi-steady state from well with radius 0.25 ft
and skin effect -0.5 at reservoir temperature 600 R. The following table includes the fluid properties.
Calculate gas flow rate using the more suitable equation when
• 𝑃̅𝑅= 3800 psia and Pwf= 2500 psia
• 𝑃̅𝑅=2500 psia and Pwf= 1900 psia
• 𝑃̅𝑅= 3000 psia and Pwf= 1000 psia
• Ignore the non-Darcy effects.

1-𝑃̅𝑅= 3800 psia and Pwf= 2500 psia

production between both region 2 and 3, so the more suitable
equation to calculate gas flow rate is
𝑘 ℎ (𝑚(𝑃𝑅)−𝑚(𝑃𝑤𝑓))
Qg= 0.472∗𝑟𝑒
1422 𝑇 (𝑙𝑛 +𝑠+𝐷𝑞𝑔)
𝑟𝑤

Qg = 275992 MSCF/D
2- 𝑃̅𝑅 =2500 psia and Pwf= 1900 psia
production between both region 1 and 2, so the more suitable equation to
calculate gas flow rate is
𝑘 ℎ (𝑚(𝑃𝑅)−𝑚(𝑃𝑤𝑓))
Qg= 0.472∗𝑟𝑒
1422 𝑇 (𝑙𝑛 +𝑠+𝐷𝑞𝑔)
𝑟𝑤

m(p) of 1900 psi is equal ( 280318472.4 ) by interpolation between m(p) of 1500 psi and m(p) of 2000 psi
Qg = 110657.2084 MSCF/D

3- 𝑃̅𝑅 = 3000 psia and Pwf= 1000 psia

production between both region 1 and 2, so the more suitable equation to
calculate gas flow rate is
𝑘 ℎ (𝑚(𝑃𝑅)−𝑚(𝑃𝑤𝑓))
Qg= 0.472∗𝑟𝑒
1422 𝑇 (𝑙𝑛 +𝑠+𝐷𝑞𝑔)
𝑟𝑤

m(p) of 3000 psi is equal ( 622480243.8 ) by interpolation between m(p) of 2,500 psi and m(p) of 3,400 psi
Qg = 340603.5445 MSCF/D
