FLUIDS PROPERTIES EXERCISES

EXERCISE N°1:

Four different cases are considered for an oil deposit as defined below:
Case A B C D
Bo 1.9 1.5 1.2 0.9

Temperature and pressure values at reservoir conditions for all cases are Tr = 90°C and
Pr = 280 bars.
a) Four different values of the GOR (m3/m3) are given in a random order : 280, 160, 40,
100.
How would assign these values to the cases considered above
A Bo = 1.9 GOR?
B Bo = 1.5 GOR?
C Bo = 1.2 GOR?
D Bo = 0.9 GOR?

b) Three different values of the bubble point pressure are considered: 280, 150 and 60 bars.
How would assign these values to the cases above
A Bo = 1.9 Pb?
B Bo = 1.5 Pb?
C Bo = 1.2 Pb?
D Bo = 0.9 Pb?

EXERCISE N°2:

We have a well in an oil field producing


Qo = 2500 m3/d
Qg = 378450 Sm3/d
The actual pressure is 165.5 bara. What is the volume produced in reservoir conditions?
Oil PVT Properties are attached.

EXERCICE N°3:

The oil and gas rates, measured at a particular time during the producing life of a saturated oil
reservoir are, x stb oil/day and y scf gas/day.

1. What is the corresponding underground withdrawal rate in reservoir barrels/day.


2. If the average reservoir pressure at the time the above measurements are made is 2400 psia,
calculate the daily underground withdrawal corresponding to an oil production of 2500
stb/day and a gas rate of 2.125 MMscf/day.
Note that at a reservoir pressure of 2400 psia, the PVT parameters are:
Bo = 1.1822 rb/stb
Rs = 352 scf/stb
Bg = 0.0012 rb/scf

EXERCICE N°4 :

For the gas composition given in the following text, determine:

1. Apparent molecular weight,


2. Specific gravity,
3. Pseudo-critical pressure and the critical temperature of the gas
