Question-1

a) What is dew point pressure?


b) What is retrograde condensation?
c) What is the solution gas–oil ratio of in-place oil?
d) Based on the properties of hydrocarbon mixtures, how many types are
hydrocarbon reservoirs usually divided into? Describe the major changes in fluid
characteristics that may accompany production in each type of reservoir.
e) Describe the typical fluid characteristics that would be expected in a condensate
gas reservoir. What phenomenon may occur during the production of a condensate
gas reservoir? Discuss a development plan to attain optimum recovery from a
condensate gas reservoir.

Question-2

a- Your recently completed well is producing 40.3°API oil and 0.756 specific gravity gas at
1000 scf/STB. Producing gas-oil ratio has remained constant, so you believe reservoir
pressure is above the bubble-point pressure of the reservoir oil. Estimate bubble-point
pressure given that reservoir temperature is 205°F.

b- Estimate values of solution gas-oil ratio for pressures below bubble-point pressure for the
reservoir oil of Exercise 1. Start at a pressure of 3150 psig and decrease pressure in 500 psi
increments to a final pressure of 150 psig.

2- The solubility of the following gas in a 40.3°API stock-tank oil is 1000 scf/STB at 3385 psia
and 205°F. Calculate the formation volume factor of the oil at its bubble point of 3385 psia
and 205°F.

3.
a. Estimate values of-oil formation volume factor at pressures below bubble-point pressure
for the reservoir oil of Exercise 1. Start at a pressure of 3150 psig and decrease pressure by
500 psi increments to a final pressure of 150 psig.

2
b- A black oil has a bubble-point pressure of 4000 psia at 225°F. The oil formation volume
factor at the bubble point is 1.519 res bbl/STB. Estimate the oil formation volume factor at
initial reservoir pressure of 6250 psia. Use a value of 9 X 10-6 psi-1for the coefficient of
isothermal compressibility.

4.
a- An oil has Bob = 1.255 res bbl/STB, Rsb = 410 scf/STB for pb = 2265 psig at 214°F.
Produced gas specific gravity is 0.811 and stock-tank oil gravity is 23.7°API. Estimate a value
of viscosity for the black oil at the bubble point.
b- Estimate a value of viscosity for the black oil at 3000 psia.

5.
a- Estimate a value of the coefficient of isothermal compressibility for use at 2000 psia for
the black oil of Exercise 1.
b- Estimate a value of the coefficient of isothermal compressibility for use at 4000 psia for
the black oil of Exercise 1.
