  11. Solution gas Drive(above the bubble point)

  12. Exercise 1: • Determine the fractional oil recovery during depletion down to the bubble point for the following reservoir:

  13. Solution: • Average compressibility of the oil: • Fractional Recovery:

  14. Solution Gas Drive (below the bubble point) • Below the bubble point pressure gas will be liberated from the saturated oil. • Since gas compressibility is 2-3 times greater in order of magnitude, oil and water compressibility are usually neglected.

  15. Exercise 2: • The reservoir described in exercise 1 will be produced down to an abandonment pressure of 900 psi.

  16. Solution:

  17. Solution:

  18. Solution: • Conclusion: To increase the primary recovery as much as gas as possible should be kept in the reservoir.

  19. Gas Cap Drive • For a reservoir in which gas cap is the dominant drive mechanism and compaction and water influx are negligible material balance equation reduces to the following equation:

  20. Exercise 3: • The initial oil volume in a gas cap reservoir is estimated to be 115×10^6 stb. Np and cumulative gas oil ratio is provided in the following table. The size of the gas cap is uncertain and it is estimated to be m=0.4. Do you agree with this number?

  21. Solution: • Havlena and Odeh method is used. F , Eo and Eg are calculated in the following table.

  22. Solution:

  23. Solution: • If there is an uncertainty in the value of N, then the other form of Odeh equation can be applied to estimate both N and m.

  24. Natural Water Drive • A drop in the reservoir pressure due to the production of fluids cause the aquifer water to expand and flow into the reservoir. • High vertical permeability. • Steady state aquifer. • Unsteady state aquifer( time lag effect)

  25. Natural Water Drive • If there is no initial gas cap in reservoir and compaction effect is ignored:

  26. Natural Water Drive

  27. Compaction Drive • Withdrawal of liquid or gas from a reservoir results in fluid pressure reduction and consequently increase the grain pressure. • Reservoir will compact under higher grain pressure.
