Choke: 2018 #1

Problem 1. NG, SG 0.70 through ½" choke at 500 psig, 140 dF. 2,900 MCF/day is closest to: (A) 20% high (B) 10% high (C) Accurate (D) 10% low.

This solution is shown in the Guidebook 8 FAC 1-2. At said conditions, z = ~0.95 (find using 9 PVT 2 with preferred z chart; the Guidebook walks one through the psuedocritcal calculations).

Once you have z, flow computes to 2,900 MCF/day or (C). Note the Guidebook comment how estimating z = 1 gets you close, but this problem demands an exact answer, so you can't risk estimating.

Gaseous Equivalent: 2018 #14

Problem 14. A 50 API retrograde gas-condensate reservoir at 2,500 psia & 225 dF has a gaseous equivalent (scf) closest to: (A) 720 (B) 770 (C) 820 (D) 870?

Straightforward 3-step solution; 13 RES 11 has all needed equations on a single page:
1. Mo = 5954/(api-8.8) = 145.
2. SGo=(1.008*145)/(42.43 + 145) = 0.78.
3. 133,300(0.78/145) = 719 or (A).

Note this problem is more wordy and confusing than is shown above; for the answer here I merely remove all the unneeded information for clarity. But I strongly recommend doing these practice problems in test format. Practicing the confusing nature of problem wording, under time constraint, is critical.
