Assignment 2

1. Write down Diffusivity equation with listing assumption taken in to consideration

while deriving it.
2. What do you understand by ideal reservoir?
3. What is the importance of hydraulic diffusivity equation?
4. Write down important solutions to the partial differential equation describing fluid
flow through porous media.
5. Describe when to apply logarithmic approximation to Ei function?
6. For a well, producing oil at 30 stb/day and following data set, calculate reservoir
pressure at 5 ft radius after 5 hours of production.

7. For a reservoir producing at 50 stb/day of oil with characteristics detailed in previous

question, calculate pressure decrease rate assuming pseudo-steady state of flow
condition.
8. Describe skin factor and details its significance.
9. On the plot of Pwf vs log t and Pwf vs t, mark transient and pseudo steady region with
giving reason for their behaviour.
10. Write an expression for pressure at the wellbore near to L distance from a fault using
concept of superposition.
