Problem 1: An Incompressible Fluid Flows in A Linear Porous Media With The Following
properties:
L = 2000 ft h = 20′ width = 300′
k = 100 md Ф= 15% μ = 2 cp
p1 = 2000 psi p2 = 1990 psi
Calculate:
a. Flow rate in bbl/day
b. Apparent fluid velocity in ft/day
c. Actual fluid velocity in ft/day
Solution:
Calculate the cross-sectional area A:
A = (h)(width) = (20)(100) = 6000 ft2
a. Calculate the Flow rate
