The volumetric method of reservoir is a very simple and yet elegant mathematical tool that gives a fairly accurate idea about the volume of hydrocarbons in the reservoir. Its accuracy depends upon a correct estimation of certain physical properties of the reservoir viz. Porosity , Reservoir thickness .
Where , V is the volume of the hydrocarbon in reservoir
A is the area over which the reservoir is spread
h is the thickness of the reservoir
phi is the reservoir porosity
Swc is the connate water saturation
Bo is the formation volume factor
In the simplest mathematical terms , the volume is determined as
Where , V is the volume of the hydrocarbon in reservoir
A is the area over which the reservoir is spread
h is the thickness of the reservoir
phi is the reservoir porosity
Swc is the connate water saturation
Bo is the formation volume factor
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your post.Its pretty interesting. I appreciate your blogs and look forward for your next blog.
