Example 1

For the 1D, block-centered grid shown on the screen, determine the pressure
distribution during the first year of production. The initial reservoir pressure is 6000
psia.

 Example 1
The rock and fluid properties for this problem are:
x = 1000ft; y = 1000ft; z = 75ft
B = 1RB/STB;  =10cp; cf=1.0 10-6 psi -1
k x =15md;  =0.18 at p=3000psia; c t =3.5 10−6 psi -1;
Use time step sizes of =10 days.
Assume B and  are unchanged within the pressure range of interest.
Also, the reservoir rock is considered as a slightly compressible material.
