1
Use of Dry Gas Properties in Material Balance Equation

  • PETE 310
  • Maria A. Barrufet
2
Classical Reservoir Engineering Analysis
  • Volumetric
    • Isomaps
    • Structural maps
    • Geological wisdom
  • Material Balance
    • Production data
    • PVT data
  • Fluid Displacement
    • Fractional Flow theory
    • Waterflooding
3
Limitations of Material Balance Methods
  • No spatial distribution of pressures and saturations
  • No Indication of Unswept or Uncontacted Areas
  • Does Not Use Spatial Information
  • Reservoir properties are average properties
  • Reservoir is a tank

6
Sources of Reservoir Energy
  • Liquid and rock compressibility,
  • Gas in solution,
  • Gas in the gas cap,
  • Water influx,
  • Gravity Segregation
