Will thumbs up for work shown and correct answer. Thanks
Problem #2:
An exploration well encounters an oil reservoir. A pressure test is performed at the depth of
5672 ft , measuring an oil pressure of 2614.4 psia. An oil sample taken from the reservoir had a
density of 43lbmft3 at reservoir conditions. A water sample from a nearby aquifer at depth of
6132 ft had a density of 69.1lbmft3, and the pressure at this depth was 2729.7 psia.
Determine the depth to the oil/water contact. (10 pts)
Determine if the reservoir is abnormally pressured (overpressured or underpressured) or not,
and explain why. (10 pts)
