At a depth of 7km in the ocean the pressure is 957 MPA. Assume a specific weight at the surface of 13.9 kn/m^3 and an average bulk modulus of elasticity of 7.99 GPA for that pressure range. Compute the change in specific volume in mm^3/kg between the surface and 7km depth.

We have a land well where the geothermal gradient is 0.03 C/ m. The surface temperature is 68 Fahrenheit. The well is 4000 meters deep. 1) Calculate the formation temperature at a depth of 4000 meters. The answer must be in Celsius. The pore pressure of 4000 meters is 1.7 sg. We are unlucky and take in a kick / well kick. The volume of the gas bubble is 3 m ^ 3 when we take in the kick. We allow the kick to migrate all the way to the surface without closing the well. 2) What will the gas volume be at the surface?
