The following information is available from an oil reservoir. There were two
producing wells in the reservoir during the first year. Each well was produced at a
constant rate of 300 STB/D.

Determine the initial oil in place assuming that this reservoir is a solution-gas
drive reservoir. You may ignore the rock and the formation water expansion.

Repeat problem 2 assuming the reservoir is surrounded by an aquifer. The aquifer
properties are given below:

The reservoir in Problem 2 was produced for another year. During the second
year, there were five procuring wells in the reservoir. Each well was produced at
a constant rate of 300 STB/D. The following information were obtained at the

Which of the two assumptions (solution-gas drive vs. water drive) is more
accurate?
Calculate the initial oil, the solution gas, and the free gas in place assuming the
reservoir in problem 3 has also an initial gas cap.

a. Solution Method:
1. Find the Cumulative Oil Produced (Np), then the Bt , and use these values along
with the given data to calculate the initial oil in place (N).
