Pressure Test Evaluations of Selected Screen

Objective:
To pressure test a selected screen with water and water/gas at various; gas and water
pressures.

Experimental Procedure:
The screen was connected to a flow line, it was inserted inside a flow-cell. Water was pumped
into the flow-cell at 12(gpm) and gradually increased to 27(gpm), representing 800(bpd) over a
66(in) long screen.
Then, water and nitrogen were pumped into the cell at a constant water rate of 15 (gpm) and
various gas inlet pressures.

Observations:
(Figure 1) Shows system pressure as a result of pumping water through the flow-cell. Water
started at 12(gpm) and increased to 27(gpm) representing 800(bpd) over the 66(in) screen.

(Figure 2) shows system pressure during water and gas injection. Water was pumped at
15(gpm) representing 450(bpd) over the 66(in) screen. Gas was injected into the system at a
pressure of 5.6 and 7.5(psi) for a period of 2 minutes each. (Figure 3 and 4) are similar to
(Figure 2) except that gas injections pressure increased to 50 and 100(psi), respectively.

(Figure 5) show system pressure as a function of gas pressure injected into the system. There
are two correlations developed to predict gas pressure. One of these correlations is based on
linear regression analysis and the second one is a logarithmic regression. According to (Figure
5), the linear regressed correlation seems to have a better fit of data. Using this correlation, a
plot is made and represented in (figure 6) to predict gas rate in liters per minute as function of
gas pressure, assuming downhole pressure of 4000(psi).
