Example #7- Pumping Oil Well (example7.

csv)

Description:

- Pumping oil well – BHP constant at 600 psig

- Initial solution GOR = 480 scf/bbl; remains relatively constant
- Reservoir drive mechanism unknown
- Workover performed in late July, 2002 to clean out well

Reservoir / Wellbore Parameters:

Pi = 5,300 psia (bottomhole)

T = 200 deg F
h = 20 ft
porosity = 20 %
Sg = 0%
Sw = 20 %
G = 0.65
CO2, H2S, N2 = 0

Oil Gravity = 40 API

Initial Solution GOR = 483 scf/bbl
Producing GOR = 483 scf/bbl

Questions:

- Does the well exhibit boundary dominated flow?

- Is this a good application for Fetkovich typecurves?
- How can you apply Specialized analysis to this example?
- Does using Numerical Modeling help you further with your analysis?
