    This document provides calculations to determine: 1) The minimum volume of nitrogen required to displace 38 bbls of fluid from a wellbore 10,000 feet deep containing 9.6 ppg brine. The required nitrogen volume is determined to be 531 gallons. 2) A foam quality of 53% to balance a bottomhole pressure of 2,500 psi against a choke pressure of 300 psi. 3) The nitrogen injection rate of 294 standard cubic feet per minute required to maintain the 53% foam quality at a fluid pumping rate of 0.5 barrels per minute, a bottomhole temperature of 260°F, and an average pressure and temperature of 1,400 psi and 140°F.

    Nitrogen Displacement Calculation e

    Minimum Volume of N2 required to displace fluid level to end of tubing


    Hole is full with 9.6 ppg Brine.

    1. Volume
    Tubing Volume = 38 Bbls

    2. Average Pressure (Avg. Pr.)


    BHP + WHP
    Avg. Pr. = 2

    BHP = Depth x Density x 0.052


    BHP = 10000 ft x 9.6 ppg x 0.052
    BHP = 4992 psi (Use 5000 psi)

    WHP = 3800 psi (see below)


    5000 + 3800
    Avg.Pr. = ------------------- = 4400 psi
    2

    For wellhead Pressure (WHP), go to section 315 of your N2 Engineer Handbook You
    need Depth and BHP to find WHP.

    The WHP due to the column of


    N2 is between 4000 psi
    and 3750 psi. Choose 3800
    psi.

    => WHP = 3800 psi

    3. Average Temp. (Avg. Temp.)


    BHT + Surf Temp 160 + 80
    Avg. Temp = ------------------------ = ------------ = 120 deg. F
    2 2

    4. Nitrogen Volume Factor (NVF)


    Go to section 305 from your N2 Engineer Handbook. You need BHP and BHT to find
    SCF/BBI.
    Page 305.07: 4400 psi
    => 1302 SCF/BBI
    120 deg. F
    5. Nitrogen Volume in SCF 6. Nitrogen Volume in gal
    1302 SCF/BBI X 38 Bbls = 49476 SCF 49476
    ----------------- = 531 gals
    93.1 SCF/gal

    Foam Quality Calculation

    Bottom Hole Pressure = BHP


    Bottom Hole Temperature = BHT
    Foam Quality = FQ

    1. Bottom hole Pressure


    BHP should be known. Ex: 2500 psi @ 10000ft

    2. Choose a choke pressure


    Choose a choke pressure of 300 psi as a start.

    3. Hydrostatic of column of Foam


    BHP - Choke Press. should be Hydrostatic
    => 2500 psi - 300 psi = 2200 psi

    4. Find Foam Quality


    Go to chart 320.12 and find FQ of column of Foam to balance BHP

    The lines cross between the 60 Quality


    and 50 Quality line. Find 53
    Foam Quality

    5. Average Temp.
    Take the average between Surface pump temperature and Bottom Hole Temperature.
    120 deg F + 260 deg F = 280 deg F/2 = 140 deg F

    6. Average Pressure
    BHP = 2500 psi
    Choke Pressure = 300 psi

    2500 + 300
    Avg Press = ------------------- = 1400 psi
    2

    7. Nitrogen Rate and Pump Rate


    Go to table 310 and find at 1400 psi and 140 deg F, and 53 HQ the Nitrogen
    Requirements per BBI
    (150 deg F, 1500 psi, 55 FQ on page 310.09) => 588 SCF/Bbl
    At 0.5 BPM fluid rate, pump 0.5 x 588 SCF/BBI = 294 SCF/ min Nitrogen
