The P/Z plot indicates the absence of water influx, as evidenced by the absence of any deviation
in the line. To determine the Gas Initially In Place (GIIP), extrapolate the line to zero by
substituting y with 0 in the equation. This yields a GIIP value of 3.76014×10^11 standard cubic
feet (scf).

The energy plot suggests the absence of water influx, as evidenced by the angle being equal to
45⁰. The slope is calculated as 1/G, where G is equal to 3×10^(-12) scf. Consequently, the Gas
Initially In Place (GIIP) is determined to be 3.333×10^11 scf.
