Task 8

Assessment of the effect of drainage area (A), well radius (rw)

and reservoir permeability (k) on the well productivity
Given:
k = 10; 1; 0.1; 0.01 mD rw = 0.328 feet
St =0 Pr = 3000 psi
Bo = 1.1 Pwf = 1000 psi
µ = 0.7 cP
re = 745; 1053; 1489; 2989 feet H=20
Calculation:
Production of oil well can be calculated as follows:
𝑘𝑜 × ℎ × (𝑃𝑟 − 𝑃𝑤𝑓 )
𝑞𝑜 =
𝑅
141.2 × 𝜇𝑜 × 𝐵𝑜 × (𝑙𝑛 𝑒 − 0.75 + 𝑆𝑡 )
𝑅𝑤
For this exercise let’s assume that skin-factor equal to 0.
Determination of the drainage area (A) will be conducted in accordance with
the formula shown below:

𝐴
𝐴 = 𝜋𝑟𝑒2 → 𝑟𝑒 = √
𝜋

Let’s calculate the values of the production rate substituting different

drainage area values. Next, plotting the q = q(A) dependency.
The second step of calculations is the determination of the effect of the
permeability (0.01; 0.1; 1; 10) on the production rate and plotting the
corresponding dependency: q = q(k).
Next, let’s determine the effect of the well radius (0.3; 0.4; 0.5; 0.6) on the
well productivity and plot the appropriate dependency, i.e q = q(rw)
Calculations:
1.For q = q(A) dependency
Determination of A values:
𝐴1 = 𝜋𝑟𝑒2 = 𝜋 × 7452 = 1742778.5
 𝐴2 = 𝜋𝑟𝑒2 = 𝜋 × 10532 = 3481660
𝐴3 = 𝜋𝑟𝑒2 = 𝜋 × 14892 = 6961759.94
𝐴4 = 𝜋𝑟𝑒2 = 𝜋 × 29892 = 28053139.94
