Required Academic Integrity Statement: (Texas A&M University Policy Statement)
Academic Integrity Statement
All syllabi shall contain a section that states the Aggie Honor Code and refers the student to the Honor Council
Rules and Procedures on the web.
Aggie Honor Code
"An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do."
Upon accepting admission to Texas A&M University, a student immediately assumes a commitment to
uphold the Honor Code, to accept responsibility for learning and to follow the philosophy and rules of the
Honor System. Students will be required to state their commitment on examinations, research papers, and
other academic work. Ignorance of the rules does not exclude any member of the Texas A&M University
community from the requirements or the processes of the Honor System. For additional information please
visit: www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor/
On all course work, assignments, and examinations at Texas A&M University, the following Honor Pledge
shall be preprinted and signed by the student:
"On my honor, as an Aggie,
I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work."

Aggie Code of Honor:

An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do.
Required Academic Integrity Statement:
"On my honor, as an Aggie, I have neither given nor received
unauthorized aid on this academic work."

problems, in-class materials, review sheets, and additional problem sets. Because these

As commonly defined, plagiarism consists of passing off as one’s own the ideas, words,
writings, etc., that belong to another. In accordance with this definition, you are committing
plagiarism if you copy the work of another person and turn it in as your own, even if you should
have the permission of that person. Plagiarism is one of the worst academic sins, for the
plagiarist destroys the trust among colleagues without which research cannot be safely
communicated.

Petroleum Engineering 620 — Fluid Flow in Petroleum Reservoirs
Homework 04 — Capillary Pressure-Relative Permeability Correlations
Assigned: 09 November 2014 — Due: 08 December 2014 [by Midnight (23:59:59 US CDT)] (Page 2 of 2)
Given:
In this assignment you are to derive the solution of the radial flow gas diffusivity equation (in terms of normalized
pseudopressure) for boundary-dominated flow condition. The radial flow gas diffusivity equation is given as:
1   pp  1   ct pp
r  (field units form) ..................................................................................... (1)
r r  r  0.00633 k t
The boundary-dominated flow condition; and the boundary conditions for this assignment are given as:
● Boundary-Dominated Flow Condition:
dVp dVp
qres  or q g Bg  .......................................................................................................................... (2)
dt dt
● Inner Boundary Condition:
pp (rw , t )  ppwf [ppwf = constant (constant bottomhole pressure case)] ...................................... (3)
● Outer Boundary Condition:
 pp 
r  0 ["No Flow" at the Outer Boundary] .................................................................. (4)
 r  re

Required:
You are to develop the solution for Eq. 1 subject to Eqs. 2, 3, and 4 — you are to obtain the following form: (see
Appendix B of Ansah dissertation for help)
q g  J g [ pp  p pwf ] ....................................................................................................................................... (5)
You must show all steps/all terms in this derivation.
