construct the IPR of a vertical well in an oil reservoir considers:
1. Transient flow at 1 month .
2. Steady state flow.
3. Pseudo steady state flow.
The following data are given:
K=8.2 md. , =19% ,h=53 ft , Pe=5651 psi , Pb=50 psi , Bo=1.1
=1.7 cp. , A=640 acre. , re=2980 ft , rw= 0.328 ft , S=0
Ct=1.29*10-5 psi-1
Solution:
time = 30 day = 720 hr.

Pseudo steady state flow

* according the productivity index J and IPR , the best flow in

this reservoir is transient flow after this flow the pseudo-steady
state is the best , and steady-state flow .
* the formula of the eq. of the transient flow depends on time (as
time increases J decreases ).
* when the pressure pwf below bubble point pb, the IPR appear
as a curve and J constant because the reservoir at the pressure
below pb is two-phase flow .
