Assignment 7. Bexultan

1. The document provides information about two reservoir-aquifer systems and asks to calculate the cumulative water influx for each using provided parameters and equations. 2. For the first system, the Fetkovich method is used to calculate the cumulative water influx as 205,290 bbl at the end of the first time interval. 3. For the second system, the steady-state model is used to calculate the cumulative water influx after 100, 200, 300, and 400 days as 650,000 bbl, 1,170,000 bbl, 1,820,000 bbl, and 2,660,000 bbl respectively. 4.

Assignment
1. A wedge reservoir-aquifer system with an encroachment angle 60° has the following
boundary pressure history:
Time, days Reservoir-aquifer boundary pressure, psia
0 2850
365 2610
730 2400
1095 2220
1460 2060

Given the following parameters:


Reservoir area, acres 40000
Aquifer area, acres 980000
Temperature, °𝐹 140
Thickness, ft 120
Permeability, md 60
Porosity 0.12
Water viscosity, cp 0.7
Water compressibility, 4*10-6
1/psi
Rock compressibility, 5*10-6
1/psi

Calculate the cumulative water influx as a function of time by using the Fetkovich’s
method.
ct = rock compressibility + water compressibility = 5*10^-6 + 4*10^-6 = 9*10^-6 1/psi
raq is the aquifer radius in ft, which can be calculated as sqrt(aquifer area / pi) =
sqrt(980000 / pi) = 558.49 ft
rR is the reservoir radius in ft, which can be calculated as sqrt(reservoir area / pi) =
sqrt(40000 / pi) = 112.87 ft
Wei = (2850 * 9*10^-6 * 3.14159 * (558.49^2 - 112.87^2) * 120 * 0.12) / (5.61458 *
60/360) = 205290.4 bbl

J = (2 * 3.14159 * 120 * 60 * 0.12) / (ln(558.49/0.328) + (0.12 / 558.49))


= 20.74 bbl/day/psi

for the first time interval (n=1), we have:


pR1 = (pr,0 + pR,365) / 2
= (2850 + 2610) / 2
= 2730 psi

△We,1 = (391941.6 / 2850) * (2610 - 2690.5) * (1 - exp(-((0.17 * 2850 * 365) /


391941.6))) = 230.15 bbl

Since this is the first time interval, there is no cumulative aquifer influx yet. Therefore, the
total cumulative aquifer influx at the first time interval is simply the water influx during
the first time interval:
We = ΔWe,1 = 31126.34 bbl

paq,1 = initial pressure * (1 - (We/Wei))


paq,1 = 2850 * (1 - (31126.34/205290.4))
paq,1 = 2850 * 0.8485
paq,1 ≈ 2419.76 psia

2. The pressure history of a water-drive oil reservoir is given below:


T, days P, psi
0 3500
100 3450
200 3410
300 3380
400 3340

The aquifer is under a steady-state flowing condition with an estimated water influx
constant of 130 bbl/day/psi. Calculate the cumulative water influx after 100, 200, 300,
and 400 days using the steady-state model.

We = q * (Pi - Pw) * t

For 100 days:


We = 130 * (3500 - 3450) * 100 = 650,000 bbl

For 200 days:


We = 130 * (3500 - 3410) * 200 = 1,170,000 bbl

For 300 days:


We = 130 * (3500 - 3380) * 300 = 1,820,000 bbl

For 400 days:


We = 130 * (3500 - 3340) * 400 = 2,660,000 bbl
3. A field has a strong water drive, as the pressure/volume/temperature (PVT) in table 1.1
and production data in table 1.2. Use these data to determine the Schilthius steady state
aquifer influx constant for the field.

Table 1.2

Schilthius steady state model is based on Darcy Law as,


𝐾ℎ𝑎 △𝑝
𝑒𝑤 = 7.08 ∗ 10−3 ∗
𝑢𝑤 ln (𝑟𝑎)
𝑟𝑒
𝑒𝑤 = 𝑐 △ 𝑝
𝐾ℎ𝑎 1
Where, c= 7.08 ∗ 10−3 𝑢𝑤 ∗ 𝑟𝑎
ln ( )
𝑟𝑒
c -> Schilthius aquifer influx constant
& ew -> water influx
△𝑁𝑝 △𝑁𝑝 △𝑊𝑝
ew = △𝑡 𝐵𝑜 + (𝐺𝑂𝑅 − 𝑅𝑠) △𝑡 𝐵𝑔 + △𝑡 𝐵𝑤

Given from the table


△Np = 20657249
△t = 7852 days
Bo = 1.07891 bbl/STB
Rs = 112 scf/STB
△Wp = 78372000 STB
Bw = 1 bbl/STB (Assumed)
Bg = 0.00082 bbl/scf (Assumed)
GOR = Gp/ Np = 231360 * 108 / 20657249 scf/STB
GOR = 1119994 scf /STB

ew = (20657249/ 7852) * 1.07891 + (1119994 – 112) * (20657249/7825) * 0.00082 +


(78372000/7852) * 1

ew = 2838.42 + 2415896.42 + 9981.15 = 2428715.97 bbl/day

now, △p = pi – pb = (2532 – 737) = 1795 psi

c = ew / △p = 2428715.97 / 1795 = 1353 bbl/day/psi ( Aquifer Influx constant)
