1. An oil well produced 280,364 ft3/day of gas through parallel reservoir layers based on given permeability, thickness, pressure, and area data. 2. For an oil well with an intermediate damaged zone, the pressure at the outer boundary was calculated to be 2,273 psi given the wellbore radius, reservoir radii, permeabilities, flow rate, and other parameters. 3. For a well producing 175 BOPD from a cylindrical reservoir, the wellbore pressure was calculated to be 3,853 psi, the pressure at a 5 ft radius was 4,232 psi, and the percentage pressure drop from the well to 5 ft was 33.08%.
