    This document contains 10 homework assignments on subsurface flow calculations for oil and gas reservoirs. The homework includes deriving equations, calculating flow rates, pressures, and velocities for various fluid and reservoir scenarios like linear and radial flow of incompressible, slightly compressible, and compressible fluids. The assignments provide example problems and ask students to apply concepts like Darcy's law, material balance equations, and transient flow solutions to calculate unknown values. They also ask students to derive steady state flow equations for different cases and compare solutions from different well test analysis methods.
