a. An oil well in the middle of a large reservoir which is actively supported by water drive, has been openhole tested and yields the following data:
Bo=1.2
=0.8cp
rw=3 inches
Thickness of interval tested h=50ft
Pwf=3800 psig atq=3000STBd
It is estimated that the reservoir has a drainage radius of at least 1000ft. Pressure survey both prior to and on build-up after the test indicate an original/static reservoir pressure of 4500 psig. The well can be assumed to penetrate the reservoir vertically. Because of the water drive you can assume that the reservoir performance can be modelled by a steady state flow model which gives the following equation:
Pe-Pw=141.2qBvKh*lnrerw
Calculate the reservoir permeability and PI assuming no damage to the reservoir.
b. For the well described in (a), calculate the relationship between Pwf and q. What would be the pressure Pwf for flowrates of 1000,2000,4000 and 5000 STB/d?
c. Assuming that a larger tubing diameter than that used for the well test can be used, allowing a bottom hole pressure of 2500 psig to be obtained, what would be the flowrate?
