A)Equation for the best fit is : p/z = b - mGP

i.e Gp =(4600-p/z) / 900 , MMMSCF
Where
Intercept b=pi /zi =4600psi
Slop m=-900psi/MMMSCF
Initial gas in place G=5.11× 109 SCF=5.11MMMSCF
b) what will be the cumulative gas produced when the average reservoir
pressure has dropped to 2000?
At p/z=2000/0.8=2500, Gp =2.33MMM SCF (from plot)
=(4600-p/z)/900=Gp =(4600-2500)/900=2.33MMM SCFGp
c) Assuming the reservoir rock has a porosity of 12% water saturation of
30% and reservoir is 15ft how many acres does the reservoir cover ?
setting p/z=0 in the best-fit equation yields the value of G
to be 5.11 MMM SCF .
G = (4600-p/z)/900 , MMMSCF
= (4600-0)/900 , MMMSCF
= 5.11 MMMSCF
Note : at p/z =0 Gp max=Gp
Or from the plot at p/z =0 G=5.11MMMSCF

Equation for the best fit is : p/z =b-mGp
p/z = 2806.5-57.132 𝐆𝐩
Where
Intercept b = pi /zi = 2806.5 psi
Slop m = -57.132 psi/MMMSCF
b) Estimate the amount of gas initially in place from the plot and the
equation for the best fit
from the p/z vs G plot G =49.12 MMMSCF
from the equation for the first best fit (solid line) is :
p/z=2806.5-57.132 Gp
i.e Gp = (2806.5-p/z)/57.132
Thus setting p/z =0 in the best fit equation yield the value of G to be
48. 20 MMMSCF .
c) Estimate remaining reserves to an abandonment pressure of 500
psi. assume 𝐙𝐚 =1.00
p/z = 500/1=500 psi
thus Gp = (2740.4-p/z)/54.728 =Gp =(2740.4-500)/54.728=40.93

Remaining reserve Ga =G-Gp =49.12× 109 -40.93× 109
