Problem (Y)

The document describes a scenario involving three oil wells producing at different rates under unsteady-state conditions, with specific distances and reservoir characteristics provided. It outlines the need to calculate the total pressure drop at well 1 and the productivity index of well 1, considering factors such as initial reservoir pressure, compressibility, and permeability. Additional details include the impact of drilling fluid invasion and skin zone permeability on the calculations.

The figure below shows three wells two of which are located next to sealing

faults. The wells are producing under unsteady-state conditions at a constant flow
rate of 250, 200 and 150 STB/day for wells 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The distance
between well 1 and 2 is 700 ft and between well 1 and 3 is 1000 ft. The following
information are also available:
Initial reservoir pressure 4000 psi
Total Compressibility 12 x 10-6 psi-1
Reservoir thickness 30 ft
Wellbore radius 0.3 ft
Oil viscosity 2.4 cp
Oil formation volume factor 1.22 bbl/STB
Porosity 0.18
Permeability 0.150 Darcy
Time 15 hours

If you know that the invasion of the drilling fluid is to a radius 2 ft and the
permeability of the skin zone is sixth part of the unaffected zone and a seventh,
together with 10. Calculate
1. The total pressure drop at well 1.
2. The Productivity index of well 1.
