production mechanism in petroleum engineering

TPs PRODUCTION MECHANISMS TP1: Production from undersaturated oil reservoir Let's consider the following reservoir data of an oil production well named 'P007. This well is located in a block of the Rio Del Rey basin with an oil bearing formation. The reservoir mainly contains oil and water with no gas cap. The goal of this work is to quantify some key production data and to understand their influences on production as well. Q1) Can you briefly explain how those data have been obtained? Make a detailed sketch of the well profile (by using Pipesim) assuming 9500ft TVD/TMD. Q2) Draw the IPR and VFP by using Pipesim software. Q3) Draw IPR curves for skin effects equal to 0,5,10, and 15 respectively using Pipesim. How can you factor the skin factor on production? Q4) Draw the IPR curves for zero skin effect but for average reservoir pressures in increments of 500 psi from the "initial" 5651 to 3500 psi using Pipesim. What's the influence of average reservoir pressure on production? Q5) Assuming a transient flow model, draw the IPR for 1, 6 and 24 months by using Excel. What do they imply? Q6) What is the most influencing parameter on production? Explain. Q7) Operators want to enhance the production for a surplus of 500 BPD. As a production engineer, what do you suggest in details? Q8) Make a forecast of the production for the next 7 years with Pipesim/Mbal software
