A well located in a 100 ft thick horizontal cylindrical reservoir that

A well located in a 100 ft thick horizontal cylindrical reservoir that is supported by an infinite aquifer with a permeability of 0.05 Darcy produces 1000 stb/day of oil from a 10 in. diameter wellbore. The oil formation volume factor is 1.5 rbbl/stb. The viscosity of the oil is 50 poise. The pressure at a distance of 1000 ft. from the wellbore is 1000 psi. a) What is the pressure at the wellbore? b) What is the pressure at the outer reservoir boundary that is 10,000 ft away?
