Problem #1: A well was drilled offshore into an unconsolidated formation. The used sand
control methods were not successful so the well was shut-in. The average annual surface
temperature in that area is 84 EF and the temperature gradient is 1.6 EF/100 ft. The shut-in
surface pressure is 850 psig and the shut-in bottom hole pressure is 2800 psig. It is known that
the wellbore (diameter = 5.5 inches) is filled with gas (SG = 0.78, z = 0.85), oil (API = 32E),
water (SG = 1.08), and water saturated sand (D = 35 gm/cc). Knowing that there is a 2500 ft of
gas, a 2000 ft of sand-free water, and a 500 ft of water-saturated sand, calculate the following:
a) Total depth of the well.
b) Bg in SCF/CF of the gas using average pressure and temperature.
Problem #2: Define the following using equations only - include units:
a) Oil formation volume factor (Bo)
b) Porosity (N)
