Problem 4: Natural gas is to be produced from a geologic formation confined on the top and bottom by impervious shale layers. Let p = 0.3, b= 100 m, ap = 4 x 10⁹ Pa¹¹ and; p=0.1 hp Where p gas density (kg/m³), hp pressure head expressed as meters of water (m). Calculate the gas mass produced if the pressure head is reduced from 100 m to 30 m over an area of 10,000 m².

Problem 4: Natural gas is to be produced from a geologic formation confined on the top and bottom by impervious shale layers. Let q = 0.3, b = 100 m, ap = 4 x 10-9 Pa¹ and; p = 0.1 hp Where p gas density (kg/m³), hp pressure head expressed as meters of water (m). Calculate the gas mass produced if the pressure head is reduced from 100 m to 30 m over an area of 10,000 m².
