Final assessment

Production Engineering II

Note:

- This Assignment consist of three questions; Q1, Q2 and Q3

- Q1 and Q2 are the problem solving questions on the topics that we covered
during 2nd semester.

- You have 24 hours to submit your solution for Q1 and Q2

- Q3 is writing a short essay. You have only 24 hours to answer and submit
your answer.
- State clearly any assumptions used and intermediate calculations made in
numerical questions. No marks can be given for an incorrect answer if the
method of calculation is not presented.

- Marks for each question are shown in brackets.

- Answers must be written in the evaluation file attached to exam question

which is provided by the Petroleum Engineering Department
This is the problem solving section

Q1/ (25 Marks)

It is hoped to flow a well at an oil production rate of 400 STB/Day. The reservoir has a
productivity index of 0.5 STB/day/psi and current static (average) reservoir pressure is
2800 psi. The will is equipped with a 4000 ft of 2 7/8 in (ID=2.441 in) tubing and require
wellhead pressure is 160 psi. The producing gas liquid ratio is 100 SCF/STB.
Other relevant information
Buble point pressuer = 3000 psi
Gas gravity = 0.65
Oil API gravity = 35
Average flowing temperature = 150 F
A- Will the well flow at the desired rate (400 STB/Day)? Explain your answer in detailed
(10 Marks)
B- If you would like to increase the oil production rate up to 500 STB/Day. As a
production engineer what you are going to do? Your reason for that?
(15 Marks)

Q2/ (25 Marks)

The following data are pertinent to current reservoir condition
Buble point pressuer = 4600 psig
Average reservoir pressuer = 4500 psig
Wellbore radius = 0.5 ft
Drainage radius = 3000 ft
Water cut (fw) = 0
Stabilized test data
Pwf (psig) Q (STB/Day)
4000 500
A- Determine the oil production rate under current reservoir condition when following
bottom hole pressure is 2000 psig (10 Marks)

B- After performing a hydraulic fracturing job, well started producing 25% water (fw
= 0.25). a production test was conducted after the frac job and the following data
were obtained (15 Marks)
Pwf (psig) Q (STB/Day)
3662 2000
Determine the anticipated oil production rate (STB/Day) after the frac job at the
flowing bottom hole pressure of 2000 psig. Is this a successful frac job? Explain!
