Combination drive reservoirs

Fraction of Total Solution Gas

1 fraction of the total solution gas

2 fraction of the total initial gas


Three types of gas-oil ratios
• Instantaneous GOR
The instantaneous GOR, as expressed in scf/STB, is defined as the total gas flow rate, i.e., free gas
and solution gas, divided by the oil flow rate

• Solution GOR
The solution gas-oil ratio is a PVT property of the crude oil system. It is commonly referred to as gas
solubility and denoted by Rs.
• Cumulative GOR
The cumulative gas-oil ratio Rp, as defined previously in the material balance equation
MBE for history-matching
• Generating the pseudo-relative permeability ratio, krg/kro for the entire
reservoir or for individual wells’ drainage areas
• Assessing the solution gas driving efficiency
• Examining the field gas-oil ratio (GOR) as compared to the laboratory
solution gas solubility, Rs

The bubble map essentially illustrates the growing size of the drainage
area of a production well.

Example
Tracy’s Form of the Material Balance
Equation
Neglecting the formation and water compressibilities:

Tracy (1955) suggested that the above relationship can be rearranged into:

where Φo, Φg, and Φw are considered PVT related properties that are functions of pressure
