1. A well is producing at a rate of 700 STB/D from a reservoir which has the following
rock and fluid characteristics:
k = 150 md
h = 30 ft
= 0.5 %
rw = 3 in
= 5 cp
co = 8x10-6 psi-1
B = 1.2 bbl/STB
cf = 2x10-6 psi-1
a) After what value of the flowing time is the approximation Ei(-x) ln (1.78 X) valid
for this reservoir? What does this suggest ?
b) What is the pressure drop at the well after flowing for 3 hours?
c) Calculate the pressure gradient at a point 150 ft away from the well after 3 hours of
production.
2. The following data correspond to a reservoir which has only two producer wells. The
distance between the two wells is 1000 ft.
= 20 %
co = 3x10-6 /psi
Pi = 2500 psia
re = 4000 ft
h = 100 ft
k = 100 md
B = 1.2 bbl/STB
s well A = 5
cf = 2x10-6 /psi
= 5 cp
rw = 6 in
s well B = 0
An interference test was run in this system. At the beginning both wells were closed
and stabilized. A pressure recorder with a precision of 0.001 psi was run in well B.
Then well A was opened to produce 100 BOPD. What is the required time for the
perturbation generated in well A to be reach well B?
3. It is desired to estimate the current pressure of a point N located 500 ft north from
another well lying 500 ft east of a north-south flow barrier. The well has produced
230000 STB during one year at a constant rate. Reservoir an fluid properties are:
s = -3
= 5 cp
= 18 %
Pi = 3500 psi
h = 120 ft
rw = 4 in
B = 1.1 bbl/STB
ct = 2x10-5 /psi
k = 2 Darcies
What is the current well flowing pressure for this well?

4. An oil well is producing at a constant flow rate of 450 STB/D from a very large
reservoir. An observation shut-in well is located 500 ft away. Rock and fluid properties
are listed below. Estimate the sandface pressure at both the producing well and the
observation well at the end of two days of production. The initial reservoir pressure is
3600 psia. Other relevant data are:
B = 1.2 rb/STB
= 20 %
ct = 16x10-6 /psi
= 1.2 cp
h = 35 ft
rw = 3 in
k = 230 md
t = 48 hrs

5. Two oil wells are producing at constant flow rates of q1 = 300 BPD and q2 = 500 BPD,
respectively, from a very large reservoir. Well 2 is located at 400 ft East away from well
1, as shown in figure 1. An observation shut-in well is located 500 ft North away from
well 1. Rock and fluid properties are listed below.
B = 1.3 rb/STB
= 20 %
ct = 26x10-6 /psi
rw = 0.33 ft
k = 400 md
t = 2 days
= 3.1 cp
h = 40 ft
Pi = 4350 psi
Estimate the sandface pressure at the producing wells and the pressure drop at the
observation well (shut-in well) at the end of two days of production.
6. If the wells depicted by Figure 2 are placed on production at the same time, compute
the flowing pressure for the three wells after 72 hours of production.
q1 = 100 STB/D
q2 = 200 STB/D
q3 = 300 STB/D
r12 = 800 ft
r13 =500 ft
=26 %
ct = 44.6x10-6 psi-1
h = 24 ft
k = 56 md
r23 = 600 ft
rw1 = rw2 = rw3 =0.33 ft

B = 1.35 RB/ STB
= 6 cp
Pi = 4335 psia
What assumption is made in these calculations concerning the location of reservoir

boundaries?

7. Two wells A and B located 1000 ft apart in 27 md formation are put into production at
the same time at constant rates of 550 and 1100 BPD, respectively. Additional data:
h = 57 ft
Pi = 3263 psia

a) Determine the location of the interference point N, after 60 days of production.
b) Calculate the pressure at point N
c) Calculate the flow gradient at point N and the flow rate per foot of lease line. In
which direction is oil crossing the lease line?
8. A well is producing at a rate of 400 STB/D from a reservoir which has the following
rock and fluid characteristics:
k = 50 md
= 3 cp
co = 8x10-6 psi-1
B = 1.25 bbl/STB
cf = 2x10-6 psi-1
h = 30 ft
= 0.30
rw = 6 in
a) After what value of the flowing time is the approximation Ei(-x) ln (1.78 X) valid
for this reservoir? What does this suggest ?
b) What is the pressure drop at the well after flowing for 3 hours?
c) Calculate the pressure gradient at a point 150 ft away from the well after 3 hours of
production.

9. Consider a two-well system in a homogeneous reservoir with infinite radius of
drainage away from a fault as is indicated in Fig. 1.20. These two new wells where
completed at the same time and both closed in until the pressure in the reservoir is
stabilized throughout the reservoir, then well #1 is produced for 100 hours, at which time
the pressure in well #2 is measured and found to be 987 psia. Additional data are:
q1 = 200 STB/D
= 3 cp
Pi = 1017 psia
k = 200 md
ct = 1.5x10-5 /psi
B = 1.3 rb/STB
h = 30 ft

a) Determine the distance, d.

b) Does the log-approximation to the Ei function apply? If not, when is this
approximation possible?
