OR
Q10) a) Define gas formation volume factor and calculate it if, Sp. gravity of dry
gas is 0.70, reservoir temperature is 210F, reservoir pressure is 2000
psig and value of gas compressibility factor is 0.83. [8]
b) Calculate the production rate of the wellbore which drains effectively
from 40 acre spacing plan of field development. Given data.
Reservoir pressure = 2000 psia. Permeability = 60 md. Net sand thickness
= 30 ft. Oil viscosity = 4 cp. Oil formation volume factor = 1.10. The
well is completed in 7 inch production casing. P.I. of the wellbore is 0.30
bbl/day-psi. Bottom hole flowing pressure = 600 psi. Assume: No
formation damage. For this vertical wellbore or reservoir flow conditions
do not change with time. [8]
