    1. A horizontal pipe 10 cm in diameter (I.D) and 3000 cm long is filled with a sand of 20 % porosity.
    It has a connate water saturation of 30% and at that water saturation, a permeability of oil of 200
    md. The viscosity of the oil is 0.65 cp and the water is immobile.

    a) What is the apparent velocity of the oil under a 100 psi pressure differential?

    f) Which velocity is used to calculate flow rate and which one is used to calculate displacement
    times?

     Calculation of flow rate uses apparent velocity


     Calculation of displacement times uses actual velocity

    g) If oil is displaced with water so that 20% unrecoverable oil saturation is left behind the
    waterflood front, what are the apparent and actual average velocities in the watered zone
    behind the flood front if the oil production rate is maintained at 0.055 CU CM/s?

    2. The actual pressure history of a reservoir is simulated by the following data which assume that
    the pressure at the original oil water contact is changed instantaneously by a finite amount. Use
    the Van Everdingen and Hurst method to calculate the cumulative water influx. How much of this
    water influx occurred in the first two years?
