Problem (1)
(a)
Gp. Bg = Gi (Bg − Bgi),
Gi = Gp. Bg/(Bg − Bgi)
Solving at first interval (Gp = 79 MMSCF),
(79)(0.0057004)
Gi = = 1027.67MMSCF
0.0057004 − 0.0052620

Solving by the same way for all the other production intervals:

Production
Gp (MMSCF) Bg (Cu.ft./SCF) Gi (MMSCF)
interval
1 79 0.0057004 1027.69
2 221 0.0065311 1137
3 452 0.007736 1413.48

(b)
The reservoir is water drive reservoir because the amount of calculated Gi is increasing in the
reservoir with production which indicates influx from water source and this can be confirmed
by drawing P/Z VS GP.

For volumetric drive reservoir, the material balance equation:

If we draw a relationship between P/Z VS Gp:

 Using the below chart to find Z-Factor from PPR, TPR:
Z-Factor at 5000 psi = 0.98

Then solving for Gi:

Applying for material balance equation at 2500 psi:

675

(160 + 460)
TPR = = 1.67

From Chart, Z-Factor = 1.06

From real gas equation of state:

PV = ZnRT
Applying at initial reservoir conditions
PiV = ZiniRT

(6000)(v) = (1.06)(ni)(10.73)(160 + 460)

0.86 vi = ni

(P2) (vi) = (Z2)(nr)(R)(T)

(P2) (vi) = (Z2)(0.43vi)(R)(T)

(500)(1) = (0.96)(n3)(10.73)(160 + 460)
n3 = 0.0782 MM mole

n3: remaining moles inside reservoir at p=5000 psi.

1 mole of gas at standard conditions =379.4 SCF
Remaining gas inside reservoir = n3*379.4=0.0782*379.4 = 30 MMSCF
np= produced number of moles
np = ni − n3
np = 0.86 − 0.0782
np = 0.7818 MM mole

Then the total produced gas = np x 379.4
