MSc Reservoir Engineering Written mid-term examination ~December 2015, Instructor ; Professor Nikos Varot: 41 Test Exam duration: 3 hours 4/ How would you explain to a colleague of yours who works for the Geophysics Department © What is a gas condensate and which is its difference from a wet gas. What is cricondenbar Why the z-factor vs pressure curve exhibits a minimum at low or moderate temperatures (15oints) ‘An ideal gas exhibits a density of 1.92 Ib/ft? at 500 psia and 10°F. \Calculate its specific gravity and its formation volume factor Bg in m'/m? at a pressure of 1000 psia (& 100°F) ~~ If an oil’s isothermal compressibility at 15OF and between the pressure range = Jof 800-1000psia exhibits a mean value of 25*10° psi! and its formation volume factor at its bubble point Pb=800 psia is 1.23, calculate the value of its Bo, at pressure of 1000psia. 4) Write and explain the law of corresponding states. (1Soints) 91 ‘The compositions of the gas and liquid samples recovered from a field separator are given below in mole fractions. The separator was stabilized at 945 scf/STB. Laboratory measurements showed that the separator’s oil shrinkage factor when flashed down to standard conditions is 0.95. the density of the separator oil is 0.77 g/cm’ at the separator’s operating conditions of 115 psia and 100°R.

In which one of the known reservoir fluids type would you classify the effluent. (20 points)oa Derive the equation to calculate the volumetric flowrate of the linear steady state flow at a distance L of a slightly compressible oil of viscosity jt, which is flowing between pressure pl and p2, through a cross section area, Assume an average isothermal compressibility of co in the pressure range p1-p2. Explain your assumptions. (AS ints) wn well during a production test produces under steady state conditions. From the interpretation of the test data it appears that its skin factor exhibits a value of 4. If the average well radius is 4in calculate the effective radius of a fictitious wellwhich would have been producing at the same PI with the actual well but for flow with no well damage (S=0). All the other parameters, in both cases, will exhibit the same values (20 points) / 6) Calculate the theoretical value that the porosity of a sandstone formation the grains of which are perfect spheres of radius 0.05mm and which are packed in a cubic form (eight grains form a cube) (15 points) Units conversion factors & other useful information Hb/cf * 16.01 = Kg/m* Gas molar volume at s.c = 23.69 m'/Kmole 1ft* 0.3048 Dry gas MW = 28.97 1 cf *2.831E-02 = m* ‘Standard conditions = 60°F and 14.7 psia 1 psi *6.804E-02= atm F=C*1.8+32 (Farheneit-Celcius) I bbl * 0.1589 = m' R=K*1.8 (Rankin-Kelvin) 1 bbl * 5.614 = cf R=F+459 (Rankin-Farhencit) 1 ft* 12 = inches K=C+273 (Kelvin-Celcius)ASYHSH 1 a a SS > Srarially, ae eboarede Qaais Stay, gets one _ @ Cousars (Br WA pressuves .
