WATER INFLUX

• Aquifer Volume = Area x height

Wi =
=
=
= 3.78 x 10^10 ft^3

Water Influx, We =
• Water Influx, We = Ce x Wi x

Total Compressibility, Ce = cw + cf
= (3.0 + 5.0) x 10^-6 = 8.0 x 10^-6 psi^-1

Water Influx, We = Ce x Wi x
= 8.0 x 10^-6 x 3.78 x 10^10 x 1100
= 3.32 x 10^8 ft^3
B.
Initial hydrocarbon volume, Vhc =
= 2.389x10^8 ft^3
The water influx is capable of replacing the hydrocarbons pore volume.
• Water influx constant, B = 1.119
B = 1.119 x 0.22 x (1.0x10^-6) x 35 x 1
B = 49.63 bbl/psi

Dimensionless time,
After 1 year, t = 365 days
273
and the Dimensionless influx rate Q(t); => is extracted from the table
for infinite aquifers
Q(t) = 98.0
Water influx, We = B ∆P Q(t)
We = 49.63 x (4500 – 4490) x 98 = 48,637bbl
• Water influx constant, B = 1.119
B = 46.16 bbl/psi
Dimensionless time,
After 6 months, t = 365 days/2 = 182.5 days
td = 110.15
Dimensionless influx rate Q(t); => is extracted from the table for
infinite aquifers
Q(t) = 46.63
At the end of period 1, 6 months, the water influx is

We = B x x Q(t)
We = 46.16 x x 46.63 = 21,524bbls
At the end of period 2, 12 months, t = 365 days

B = 46.16bbl/psi

td = 220.3
Q(t) = 82.06
