p/z = (slope x Gp) + intercept on the y-axis

p/z = -0.0522Gp + 4448.34

Initial Pressure
At Gp = 0

Pi/zi = 4448.34 psia


• Original Gas in Place, p/z = 0

• p/z = -0.0522Gp + 4448.34

• 0 = - 0.0522G + 4448.34
• 0.0522G = 4448.34
• G = 4448.34/0.0522
• GIIP = 85,217MM SCF

• pV = nRT
• n = m/M
• For methane, M = 16Ib/mol

• pV = (mRT)/M
• m/V = MP/RT
