Introduction To Reservoir Engineering: - Dr. Prince

The document discusses key reservoir fluid properties including viscosity, density, formation volume factor, compressibility, and solution gas. It defines these terms and explains how they are calculated or related. The document also covers reservoir classifications including oil, gas, and condensate reservoirs. It provides pressure-temperature diagrams to illustrate different reservoir behaviors. Finally, it discusses oil recovery factors and definitions for displacement sweep efficiency, areal sweep efficiency, and vertical sweep efficiency.

Reservoir fluid properties

 viscosity
 Density
 Formation volume factor
 Compressibility
 Solution gas
Viscosity
 For oil viscosity

- Dead oil viscosity


- Saturated oil viscosity
-Below Saturated oil viscosity
It depends on = f (P,T,δ and Rs)
The oil viscosity at reservoir conditions can vary
from 10000 cP for a heavy oil to less than 1 cP
for a light oil.

For gas
it is a function of Pseudo reduce pressures,
Temperatures and molecular weight of the gas.
Density

API = (141.5 / Sp. gravity ) - 131.5

Crude oil range = (15 – 45) API


Light crudes (Brent and WTI) = (35-45)API
Condensates (propane and butane) = more than 45 API
Medium crude oil = (25-35) API
Extra heavy oil = less than 15 API
Formation volume factor

Bo = Vres/Vsc
(Bbl/STB)
Solution gas

 the amount of gas dissolved


in the oil at any pressure.
 It increases approximately
linearly with pressure and is a
function of the oil and gas
composition
 solution gas-oil ratio varies
from 0 (dead oil) to
approximately 2000 scf/bbl
(very light oil)
Compressibilty
Above under saturated pressure -
compressibility is low.

At and below the bubble point pressure


(saturated condition) - oil compressibility
rises with reduction in pressure.

J = Qo

J = Qo
Pr-Pwf

Pr

Qo = J(Pr –Pwf)

Pwf = Pr –(1/J)Qo

AOF =Pr.J

Since Pwf = 0
For gas IPR
Oil recovery

Recovery Factor (RF)


Ed = Displacement sweep efficiency RF = Ed*Ea*Ev

Ea = Areal sweep Efficiency =1 (Max. recovery)

Ev = Vertical Sweep efficiency Np = N. RF


sweep efficiency Ed*Ea*Ev
Y= breadth

X=length
Z = height Ed
Ed

Ed = (Soi – So) / Soi Soi = initial oil saturation

So = final oil saturation


= Sw-Swi-Sgi / (1-Swi-Sgi)
Sw= final water saturaration

Swi =initial water saturation

Sgi = initial gas saturation


Ea

Areal sweep efficiency Ea


Before breakthrough = Winj / ( Swbt – Swi)

At Breakthrough = 0.054 + 0.031/ M + 0.3 / Exp(M) -0.005M

After Breakthrough = Eabt + 0.633*log( Winj / Wibt )
