Problem #15
Given:
Initial volume of gas in place by electric log and core data as either 20 or 200
MMM SCF underlying 2250 acres at initial pressure of 3500 psia and 140 degrees
Fahrenheit (600 Rankins)
Pressure-production data
Pressure
Cumulative gas production Gas deviation factor at 140

MMM SCF

Problem statement:
a. Initial volume of gas in place using the pressure production data assuming no
water influx
b. Amount of acres in pressure production assuming uniform sand thickness,
porosity, and connate water saturation
c. What is the water influx for the pressure production and the electric log and core
data to match
Calculations
a. The initial gas in place can be calculated by using the following material balance
equation
Gp (SCF) = Gi (SCF) [

()

( 3 )

-( (ft3)- (SCF)* ())]* ( 3 )

Since we are assuming no water influx, the equation becomes

Gp (SCF) = Gi (SCF) [

()

( 3 )

]* ( 3 )

Rearranging the terms a little bit and the Gi can be calculated

(SCF)
Gi (SCF) =
(1 )

Gp is given in the table value as 75 MMMSCF

The two Bg values can be calculated by using the values from the table
3500

2500

Bgi = 35.35*(0.85600) = 242.598 3 & Bg = 35.35*(.82600) = 179.62398 3

Gi (SCF) =

75(MMMSCF)
179.62398 = 288.92617 MMMSCF

(1 242.598 )

b. Two answers. Either 20 MMMSCF is equivalent to 2250 acres or 200 MMMSCF

is equivalent to 2250 acres. For acres form the production data. Use the ratio
specified to convert SCF to acres

c. The water influx can be calculate by rearranging the material balance to the
following equation

Water influx = (we wp*Bw) (ft3) =
