Well Productivity Calculations Explained

The document provides answers to exercises related to well productivity and wellbore interface. It includes calculations for the productivity index (PI) based on reservoir and bottomhole pressures, as well as the effects of skin factor changes on stock tank oil (STO) flowrate. The results illustrate how varying skin factors influence production rates in oil reservoirs.

Appendix: Answers to exercises

Well Productivity & Wellbore Interface


Answer exercise N° 2
On a given reservoir, for a reservoir pressure (PR) of 300 bar and a bottomhole pressure (BHP) of
250 bar, the well produces 100 m3 per day of stock tank oil with a production GOR of 20 Std m3 / m3.
Assuming the PI law can be applied, what is the value of PI?
PI = Qsto / (PR – BHP) = 100 / (300 – 250) = 100 / 50 = 2 m3/d/bar

Answer exercise N° 3
An oil reservoir is produced with a bottomhole pressure greater than the bubble pressure and a global
skin S equal to + 16. For the same bottomhole pressure, if the initial skin factor S is reduced (after an
appropriated treatment for example) to the skin factor S' specifically mentioned in each following
questions, the STO flowrate after treatment (for the skin S') is, compared to the flowrate before
treatment (for the skin S = + 16), more or less:
S’ = 0 S’ = 8 S’ = -4
a) Divided by 9 □ □ □
b) Divided by 6 □ □ □
c) Divided by 3 □ □ □
d) Divided by 2 □ □ □
e) Divided by 1.5 □ □ □
f) Multiplied by 1.5 □ √ □
g) Multiplied by 2 □ □ □
h) Multiplied by 3 √ □ □
i) Multiplied by 6 □ □ √
j) Multiplied by 9 □ □ □

appropriated treatment for example) to the skin factor S' specifically mentioned in each following
questions, the STO flowrate after treatment (for the skin S') is, compared to the flowrate before
treatment (for the skin S = + 16), more or less:
For S = + 16, FE = Q / Qth ≅ 8 / (8 + S) = 8 / (8 + 16) = 1 / 3 ⇒ Qth = 3 x Q
For S', FE' = Q' / Qth ≅ 8 / (8 + S') ⇒ Q' ≅ [8 / (8 + S')] x Qth = [8 / (8 + S')] x 3 x Q
If S' = 0, Q' ≅ [8 / (8 – 0)] x 3 x Q = 3 x Q
If S' = 8, Q' ≅ [8 / (8 + 8)] x 3 x Q = 1.5 x Q
If S' = -4, Q' ≅ [8 / (8 – 4)] x 3 x Q = 6 x Q
