Water influx Calculations
1. What are the main characteristics of steady, semisteady, and unsteady-state
water influx into oil reservoirs?
2. For an unsteady-state water influx, show graphically:
 Constant terminal flow rate curves.
 Constant terminal pressure curves.
3. Test the following water influx data for steady-state flow:

T, day 0 50 100 150 200 250 300

P, psi 2400 2380 2375 2306 2300 2190 2122
We, Mbbl 0.00 12.3 27.6 36.8 74.9 157.2 206.2

4. A gas reservoir with a steady-state bottom water drive has the following data:

T, years P, psi Gp, MMM scf βg, bbl/scf

0 4000 0 0.0010
1 3710 87.74 0.0012
2 3320 159.28 0.0014
3 3930 221.83 0.0016

Calculate: G, influx constant (k), and gas shrinkage at the end of the 3rd year.

5. A bottom water drive reservoir has the following data:

T, P, Np, Rp, βo, βg, rs,

If K= 195 md, μw= 0.58 cp, cw = cf = 3.5 x 10-6,  = 30 %, rw= 9980 ft, re/rw=5,
and θ = 190°. Calculate: N, B and h.

6. A combination drive reservoir has the following data:

θ =139°,  = 24.8 % , rw = 9208 ft, k =198 md, μw = 0.55 cp, m = 0.4 , Cw = 3.9
x 10-6 psi-1 , Cf = 4.1 x 10-6 psi-1 , βw = 1 bbl/stb, and:
