Question: ( Points: 1 2 + 1 8 + 1 0 = 4 0 ) - A gas reservoir containing 1 0 6 MMMSCF gas initially

(Points: 12+18+10=40)- A gas reservoir containing 106 MMMSCF gas initially in place has an initial
pressure of 3,500 at reservoir temperature of 248F. The reservoir formation contains irreducible
water saturation. When the reservoir pressure declined down to 500 the gas field produced 85.52
MMMSCF of gas, 0.1 MMSTB of condensate oil and 0.1 MMSTB of condensate water. The surface
produced condensed oil has 0.75 specific gravity and 177lbl?lb-mole molecular weight. Following gas
production, CO2 is scheduled to be sequestered in the depleted gas field.
a. Estimate the volume of (i) cumulative equivalent gas produced, Gpe, at field's abandonment
pressure of 500, and (ii) cumulative gas produced at average reservoir pressure of 2,500
psi assuming negligible condensate oil and water production for the latter case.
b. Show the first step (iteration) of your calculations to estimate the volume of injected CO2
(MMMSCF) into formation when the average reservoir pressure reaches 2,500. Describe
how you will proceed in the remaining steps to determine the injected CO2 volume at 2,500
psi. (Note: Although calculations must be shown, no final answer is expected for this question.)
c. Using only the equations provided below, estimate the theoretical maximum CO2 volume
(MMMSCF) that can be stored in pore space when the reservoir pressure reaches 3,500.
The gas and CO2z-factors as a function of pressure and at reservoir temperature are given below:
Material balance equations:
(?bar(p))z=-1GpiziGpe+pizi
Gas production cycle
(?bar(p))zm=-1Gpizi(Gpe-GCO2inj)+pizi,CO2 injection cycle
Cumulative gas equivalent: ,Gpe=Gp+133,000oMwoNp+7,390Wpv
Gpe(SCF)= cumulative equivalent gas production; Gp(SCF)= cumulative gas production
Np(STB)= cumulative oil production; Wpv(STB)= cumulative water (vapor) production
