Calculation of the IHIP by the MBE Method

1. A depletion drive reservoir has the following data:

P, psi Np, MMstb βo, bbl/stb rs, scf/stb βg, bbl/scf Rp, scf/stb
4000 0 1.45 700 0.0010 700
3800 4 1.43 650 0.0012 1125
3600 5 1.41 600 0.0014 2450
3400 6 1.39 550 0.0016 3431

If Swc =30 % :
a.Calculate OOIP, N.
b. Calculate each of the following at P=3400 psi:
 So , and Sg.
 Reservoir GOR.
 Recovery factor without gas injection, and if 30% of the produced gas
has been injected.

2. What are the different uses of MBE?

3. What are the main difficulties and limitations of MBE applications?

4. Rewrite the MBE for all reservoir types using βt instead of βo. (Giving your
reasons)

5. Give a brief account about the selection of PVT data for MBE.

6. An oil reservoir has the following data:

Cw = 7 x 10-6 psi-1 , Cf = 6 x 10-6 psi-1 , Swc = 25 % , We = 0, Wp = 0, and:

T, P, Np, βo, rs, βg, Rp,

years psi MMstb bbl/stb scf/stb bbl/scf scf/stb
0 4300 0 1.34 780 − 780
1 3900 2.59 1.37 780 − 780
2 3500 4.39 1.39 780 0.0010 780
3 3100 7.52 1.36 710 0.0015 1400
4 2900 9.52 1.33 670 0.0019 1500

Calculate:
 The original oil in place , N.
 The gas saturation, Sg, at P = 2900 psi.
