Example 1

After successful drilling the oil well-x , the authority has decided to complete the
well to put it on production. The first step of this well completion procedure is
to identify the optimum tubing size for this well.

Fluid data (PVT) was collected and tested in the laboratory, necessary reservoir
data (for IPR) and down hole equipment description (for VLP) are available.

You required to:

- Build a PROSPER well model for an oil producing well. Write down your name
and roll number in the description box.

- Calibrate the black oil(PVT) correlations against lab data

- Use the model to estimate the initial flow rate against a well head flowing
pressure of 250 psig (First node pressure (IPR-TPR).

- It is predicted that the well will face water cut from 0-50 %. Therefore, run
sensibility analysis on water cut.
- Estimate the suitable tubing dia for the well.

The basic available PVT data are:

Parameter Value
Solution GOR: 400 scf/stb
Oil Gravity: 30 API
Gas gravity: 0.75 (Air =1)
Water salinity: 80000 ppm
Impurities (CO , N , H S): None
2 2 2

Bubble point pressure: 2500 psig at 200 degF


Further PVT data are given in tabular form below at 200 degF:

Pressure in psig Gas Oil Ratio in scf/stb Oil FVF in rb/stb Oil Viscosity in centipoises
1500 237 1.138 1.34
2000 324 1.178 1.15
2500 400 1.214 1.01
3000 400 1.207 1.05
4000 400 1.198 1.11

The system equipment input section is sub-divided into 5 sub-sections:

- Deviation survey

- Surface equipment (XXX)

- Down hole equipment

- Geothermal gradient and

- Average heat capacities
