Prediction of bottom water

drive reservoir performance

Prediction of bottom water drive
reservoir performance
1. Determine We from MBE
2. Calculate the values of Sum dp Qt from
Unsteady state water drive
3. We can obtained the values of B from the
equating We from MBE with B Sum dp Qt
4. The best value of B obtained from drawing the
relation between values of B versus Values of
Np or time

This equation of straight line relation between F and E the slope is B
5. Assume three values of Pressure P1,P2 &
P3,and Select the values of Production Np
,Wb,..on the basis of the past production history
6. From PVT data Determine Bo,Bt,..
7. Calculate the values of We from MBE for each
pressure
8. Plotting pressure Vs water influx calculated by
both MBE and USSE obtained for the three
assumed pressures will show the pressure
which will result in identical water influx
calculation by both method.
9. The intersection of the two We MBE and We fro
USSE curves yields the proper pressure
10. Repeat the above steps until abandonment
pressure or the time of prediction. Neglecting
Cw & Cf

If the pressure less than the
saturation pressure

Example 1
A water drive reservoir is an elongated
dome with water influx around the entire
periphery ( angle =360) of the reservoir.
