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
0.001127𝑘𝐴(𝑝1 − 𝑝2 )
𝑞=
𝜇𝐿
0.001127(100𝑚𝑑)(6000𝑓𝑡 2 )(2000𝑝𝑠𝑖 − 1990𝑝𝑠𝑖)
𝑞= = 𝟏. 𝟔𝟗𝟎𝟓𝒃𝒃𝒍/𝒅𝒂𝒚
(2𝑐𝑝)(2000𝑓𝑡)

b. Calculate the Apparent fluid velocity


𝑞 (1.6905)(5.615)
v= = = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟎𝟏𝟔𝒇𝒕/𝒅𝒂𝒚
𝐴 6000𝑓𝑡 2

c. Calculate the Actual fluid velocity


𝑞 (1.6905)(5.615)
v= = = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟏𝟎𝟓𝒇𝒕/𝒅𝒂𝒚
Ф𝐴 (0,15)(6000𝑓𝑡 2 )
