CPES17 Reservoir Engineering | Spring 2010 1" Mid-term Exam 3:00 ~ 3:50 P.M. Wednesday, Feb. 17" (Open Notes) 1. Anewly discovered oil reservoir has a productive area of 450 acres and net pay zone thickness of 50 ft (1 acre = 43,560 ft’). a) Coring was performed and a core plug of 1-inch diameter and 2.5 inches long was cut from the whole core. The core plug was extracted, dried, and then weighed. The dry weight of the core plug was found to be 60.80 g, The core plug was put under vacuum and then saturated with brine. The saturated core plug weighed 67.43 g. The density of the brine was 1.03 g/cm’. ‘What Is the porosity of the formation rock? (20 points) b) The brine saturated core was then flooded with brine at a constant flow rate of 6 cm?/min. The pressure drop measured across the length of the core was 5 psi. The brine viscosity is 0.98 cp. What is the permeability of the formation rock? (20 points) ) After coring, an electrical log was run in the borehole and determined that the formation water saturation is 30%, What is the original oil in place in bbls (1 bbI=5.615 ft") for this newly discovered reservoir (assuming no gas in the reservoir)? (20 points) 2. An oil reservoir with a drainage radius of 500 ft has two major producing strata that are 50 ft and 100 ft thick with an average permeability of 200 md and 100 md, respectively. The two major strata are separated by a 1-ft thin layer with a permeability of 10 md. a) What is the average permeability of this multi-layer reservoir? (20 points) b) During production, a production well producing from all three strata is damaged by scale buildup in the near-wellbore region. The damaged region extends uniformly into all three strata with a radial distance of 1 ft from the wellbore. The permeability of the damaged zone in each stratum is % of the original permeability of the stratum. The wellbore radius is 0.5 ft. ‘What is the average permeability of the multi-layer reservoir after the production well is damaged by the scale buildup?
