Example 9-6
Chierici and Ciucci (1964) proposed a methodology for

determining the optimum completion interval in coning
problems. The method is basically based on the “trial and
.error” approach
For a given dimensionless radius rDe and knowing GOC,
WOC, and fluids density, the specific steps of the proposed
:methodology are summarized below
.Step 1. Assume the length of the perforated interval hp
.Step 2. Calculate the dimensionless perforated length ε= hp/h
Step 3. Select the appropriate family of curves that corresponds to
rDe, interpolate if necessary, and enter the working charts with ε on
the x-axis and move vertically to the calculated ratio Δρog/Δρow
Estimate the corresponding δ and ψ. Designate these two
dimensionless parameters as the optimum gas cone ratio δg,opt and
.optimum dimensionless function ψopt
Step 4. Calculate the distance from GOC to the top of the
perforation , Dt = (h) (δg,opt).
Step 5. Calculate the distance from the WOC to the bottom
.of the perforation, hw , Db = h − Dt − hp
Step 6. Using the optimum dimensionless function ψopt in
Equation 9-9, calculate the maximum allowable oil flow rate
.Qow
.Step 7. Repeat Steps 1 through 6
Step 8. The calculated values of Qow at different assumed
perforated intervals should be compared with those obtained
from flow-rate equations, e.g., Darcy’s equation, using the
.maximum drawdown pressure
vertical well is drilled in an oil reservoir that is overlaid by a
gas cap and under laid by an aquifer. Assuming that the pay
thickness h is 200 feet and the rock and fluid properties are
given :
kh = 300 md , kro = 1.00 , kv = 90 md
ρo = 46.24 lb/ft3 , ρw = 68.14 lb/ft3 , ρg = 6.12 lb/ft3
Bo = 1.25 bbl/STB , μo = 1.11 cp
Solution
Step 1. Using the available data, calculate:
rDe = √ = 6.8
and
∆ρog / ∆ρow =40.12 /21.90 =1.8319
Step 2. Assume the length of the perforated interval is 40 feet; therefore, hp
= 40′
ε= 40/200 = 0.2
Step 3. To obtain the values of ψopt and δg,opt for rDe = 6.8, interpolate between
Figures rDe=5 and rDe=10
Interpolations
rDe= 5 , ε = 0.2 , σog =0.317 , ψ = 0.045

rDe= 10 , ε = 0.2 , σog =0.317 , ψ = 0.041
=(6.8-5)()+0.045
ψ=0.043
Step 4. Calculate the distance from GOC to the top of the
perforations:
Dt= (200)(0.317)= 63 ft
Step 5. Determine the distance from the WOC to the bottom of
the perforations.
Db= 200-63-40= 97 ft
.Step 6. Calculate the optimum oil flow rate
(Qo)opt=0.492Χ10-4 (
=740 STB/day
Step 7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6 with the results of the calculation as shown below. The oil flow
rates as calculated from appropriate flow equations are also included.
The maximum oil production rate that can be obtained from this well without coning
breakthrough is 740 STB/day. This indicates that the optimum distance from the GOC to the top
of the perforations is 63 ft and the optimum distance from the WOC to the bottom of the
perforations is 97 ft and The total length of the perforated interval is= 40 ft.
Example 9-14
The rock, fluid, and the related reservoir properties of a bottom-water
drive reservoir are given below:
well spacing =80 acres , initial oil column thickness =80 ft
Calculate the water cut behavior of a vertical well in the reservoir assuming a total production
rate of 500, 1,000, and 1,500 STB/day.
Solution
Step 1. Calculate the dimensionless cone height Z by using Equation:
Step 2. Calculate the dimensionless breakthrough time by applying Equation:

Step 3. Calculate the time to breakthrough from Equation:
Step 4. Calculate initial oil in place N.

N =7758 Aφh ( 1 −Swi)/Bo
N =7758 (80) (0.14) (80) (1 −0.25) / 1.2 = 4,344,480 STB.
Step 5. Calculate the parameter R by applying Equation:
Step 6. Calculate the limiting water cut at breakthrough:

Step 7. The water cut calculations after an assumed elapsed time of 120
days at a fixed total flow rate of 500 STB/days are given below:
• From Equation calculate tDBT tDBT = 120/106.4 = 1.1278
Apply Equation 9-36 to find (fw)D :
(fw)D = 0.29 + 0.96 log (1.1278) = 0.3391
• Solve for the present water cut from Equation :
fw = (0.3391) (0.464) = 0.1573
Step 8. Calculate water and oil flow rate:
Qw = (0.1573) (500) = 78.65 STB/day
Qo = 500 − 78.65 =421.35 STB/day
Step 9. Calculate cumulative oil produced from breakthrough to 120 days:
Step 10. Calculate cumulative oil produced after 120 days:

Np = 53,200 + 6265.18 = 59,465.18 STB
Step 11. Find the recovery factory (RF):
RF = 59,465.18/4,344,480 = 0.0137
Step 12. Assume an elapsed time of 135 days, repeat the above steps at the same total rate of
500 STB/day:
• R = 4.3158 × 10 − 7 (59,465.18) = 0.020715
• hw = 21.66
• h = 78.34
• (Wc)limit= 0.4615
• (fw)D =0.29 + 0.94 log (135/106.4) = 0.3872
• fw= (0.3872) (0.4615) = 0.1787
• Qw=(500) (0.1787) =89.34 STB/day
Qo=500 −89.34 =410.66 STB/day
• Np = 59,465.18 + 6240.0 = 65,705.22
• RF = 0.0151
Tables below summarize the calculations for water cut versus time for total flow rates of 500,
100, and 1,500 STB/day, respectively.
