Question No. 1 Determine the coefficients of the gas deliverability equation.
Firstly, we are going to convert Phf to Pwf:
We are going to use this formula:
We put all the values and solve the equation for all the pressures;

By comparing the general line equation to the line equation of graph we get;
Slope = a = 6365
Intercept = b = 52240
Solved!
Question No. 2 Determine the formation permeability (k), skin factor (s), and the non-
Darcy factor (D). The following information is also available:
Reservoir Temperature = 120oF rw = 0.5 ft.
φ= 14.5% Swi = 23.5% h = 20 ft.

In order to find out s`:
On solving the above equation, we get;
𝒔′ = 𝟏. 𝟏𝟓𝟏 𝒙 𝟕𝟐 = 𝟖𝟐. 𝟖𝟕
At the final stage;
We know that
S' = S + D
Here;
S=0
So,
For the test one:
170.6
= 𝐷
850
For the test two:
82.8
= 𝐷
850
Now, we have the combined D,
D = 0.297
Solved!
