Question 1
High shrinkage crude oil because based on petroleum fluid spectrum table, GOR of the fluid
is between 2000-3000 scf/bbl.
Assuming temperature, T =0 at 1 atmospheric pressure, we have:
ppmv=(mg/ m3)(273.15+)/(12.187 MW )
So, 0.25 gr /100 scf =(0.25)(64.79891 mg)/( 2.83 m3 )=5.724 mg/ m3

Question 2
A well tested at a rate of 250 STB/day with a P wf of 500psia. The reservoir pressure was 2500
psia. Assuming bubble point pressure is 50 Psia.
a. IPR curve assuming and unsaturated reservoir

Lowest point for Pwf is 50 Psia which is the bubble point pressure while the maximum point
for Pwf is 2500 Psia which is the reservoir pressure.

The IPR curves remain the same which is linear even though the reservoir pressures are
different fir both cases. It shows that the curves will not change even the pressure has been
manipulated because it is a single phase flow.

Given the natural gas gravity to air g = 0.75, the pseudocritical pressure p pc and
temperature T pc are 667 psi and 405 R, respectively. If the pressure and temperature are
1500 psi and 20 , respectively.
a. Mass of gas that can fit in 1000 ft3 of space
0.51
Figure shows the gas deviation factor for natural gases (Standing and Katz, 1942)
For p=1500 psi, p pr=1500/667=2.25 . Thus from the figure, Z is obtained as 0.51.
By using the real gas law and gas gravity definition, the mass of gas that can fit in 1000 ft3 of
space is:
m=
curve.
For each assumed pressure the p pr must be calculated, then a Z must be obtained and the
ratio p/Z must be checked against the 4412 value.

Question 10
Calculation of the expected pressure at the target zone and required mud weight.
a. An onshore well is drilled to a depth of 25,000 ft. At 21,000 ft, there is a barrier that
extends to the target.
Onshore: The equation below is used to calculate the expected pressure.
p=0.465 H a +1.1 ( H bH a )
p=0.465 21000+ 1.1 ( 2500021000 )=14165 psi
The hydrostatic pressure in psi with density, in lb/ft3 is given by
p=
H

Rearranging the equation above at 25000 ft depth with pressure of 14165 psi, the fluid
density is

conditions, respectively:

=
=20.1 m2 /(kg /s )
U t T 0.500 82.5
For the base case of 8 MTPA, the rate is 253.7 kg/s. Thus, the heat transfer area required for
this size unit would be 253.7 kg / s 20.1m2 /(kg/s )=5100 m 2 .
25
Here, emphasis is given on the required work for the refrigeration cycle, instead of the total
heat transfer. The refrigeration cycle can be modeled with a Carnot refrigerator, operating
between the 123 K process side, and an assumed 298 K ambient temperature.
For this case:
COP=1 /(298/1231)=0.703
Thus,
^
W min =Q/COP=830.2/0.703=1.18
MJ /kg
For the flowrate of 253.7 kg/s, this becomes 299 MW.
The analysis above assumes that all heat transfer takes place at 150 , the final LNG
temperature. In reality, a process can be constructed in temperature steps to minimize the discrete
temperature difference, and thus minimize entropy degradation or lost work.

To calculate the inlet pressure of pipeline AD, the Z-factor is needed, and trial and error is
indicated, because the Z-factor depends on the pressure. Also, the viscosity must be adjusted
by the calculated pressure.
Assume the inlet pressure is 1000 psi. Since all the gas is methane, then
g =0.56, p pc =673.6 psi ,T pc=346.1 R , Z=0.9( Z chart) .
