3. A sand body is 1500 feet long, 300 feet wide, and 12 feet thick. It has a uniform permeability of 345 md that had been a gas reservoir with a BHT of 140 F. Calculate the following:

average gas deviation factor of 0.88.(b) What downstream pressure will cause 25 MMSCF/day to flow, if the gas viscosity and deviation factors remain the same?

The oil has a reservoir viscosity of 3.2 cp and an FVF of 1.25 at bubble point.(a) If flow takes place above saturation pressure, what pressure drop will cause 100 reservoir barrels per day to flow through the sand body, assuming the fluid behaves essentially as and incompressible fluid?

(a) Following figure represents linear flow through a body of constant cross section, where both ends are entirely open to flow, and where no flow crosses the sides, top or bottom.

If the fluid is incompressible, or essentially so for all engineering purposes, then the velocity is the same at all points, as is the total flow rate across any cross section, so that,

bubble point, the volume, and hence the rate of flow, will vary with the

pressure as expressed by; .

As the net overburden pressure is the gross less the internal fluid pressure, a variation of permeability with pressure is indicated, particularly in the shallower reservoir, values at the average pressure may be used for most purposes.
