Study Notes
Reservoir Characteristics
- Gross rock volume of a reservoir is influenced by factors such as depositional environment, diagenesis, and tectonics
- The characteristic of fluids in a reservoir that is important to consider is their wettability
Hydrocarbon in Place
- Hydrocarbon in place is crucially dependent on the pore volume of the reservoir rock
- Pore volume is a function of porosity, which is controlled by factors such as cementation, compaction, and dissolution
Permeability
- Permeability is a characteristic of the rock that controls the flow of fluid through it
- Darcy's Law describes the flow of fluid through a porous medium and is represented by the equation Q = (kAΔP)/μL
- Permeability is primarily controlled by the size and distribution of pore throats in the rock
Capillary Pressure
- Capillary pressure is defined as the pressure difference between two immiscible fluids in a porous medium
- Capillary pressure is related to water saturation and is described by the Young Laplace Equation
- The equation for capillary pressure in a reservoir is Pcap = 2σcosθ/r
Well Testing
- The purpose of a Repeat Formation Tester (RFT) is to measure the pressure response of the reservoir to a series of flow and shut-in periods
- A Drill Stem Test (DST) is performed to evaluate the reservoir's potential and to obtain information about the reservoir's properties
- The main objective of reservoir appraisal is to determine the hydrocarbon in place and the producibility of the reservoir
Reservoir Performance
- The likely performance of the reservoir during production is influenced by factors such as permeability, porosity, and wettability
- The pressure regime in a reservoir is controlled by the balance between the injection and production of fluids
Reservoir Properties
- The main factor controlling porosity in a rock is the balance between compaction, cementation, and dissolution
- The productivity index (PI) is used in well testing to evaluate the ability of the well to produce fluids
