Petroleum Production Operations Practice Test 1

1. 1 barrel equals how many gallons?

7.48

22.2

2. Flow efficiency is given by J_ideal / J_actual (All signs have their original meaning).

True

False

3. Water cut is given by which of the following formula?

f_w = 1 ∕ (1+(K_wB_o.μ_w) ∕ (K_wB_o.μ_o))

f_w = 1 ∕ (1+(K_oB_w.μ_w) ∕ (K_wB_o.μ_o))

f_w = 1+(K_oB_w.μ_w) ∕ (K_wB_o.μ_o)

f_w = 1+(K_wB_o.μ_w) ∕ (K_wB_o.μ_o)
