10 Apr 2016 Volumetric is a method to estimate fluid in reservoir based on volume of pore space in a rock and water saturation. Volume of Oil Initially In
Recoverable hydrocarbons are estimated from the inplace estimates and a recovery factor that is estimated from analogue pool performance and/or simulation studies. Therefore, volumetric methods are primarily used to evaluate the in-place hydrocarbons in new, non-producing wells and pools and new petroleum basins. Most oil reservoirs are of the volumetric type where the driving mechanism is the expansion of solution gas when reservoir pressure declines because of fluid production. Oil reservoirs will eventually not be able to produce fluids at economical rates unless natural driving mechanisms (e.g., aquifer and/or gas cap) or pressure maintenance mechanisms (e.g., water flooding or gas injection) are present to maintain reservoir energy. Volumetrics is a measurement based on a geologic model that uses geometry to describe the volume of hydrocarbons in the reservoir. Once the original hydrocarbons-in-place are calculated to further determine the economic feasibility and risk assessment of the reservoir the hydrocarbons-in-place is multiplied by a recovery factor. This article, along with the See also articles, reviews the physical and thermodynamic properties of gas, oil, and reservoir brine.

The average reservoir temperature is 116 o F and the API gravity of oil is 46. Standard correlations 5 were used to calculate B o, and it was found to be 1.25 RB/STB. The bubble point pressure was calculated by standard correlations 5 to be around 1370 psia. Initial reservoir pressure, calculated from DST analysis,

In this case, only liquid compressibility plays a role in the change of volume. Volumetric Depletion (Tank-Type) Reservoir In a Volumetric Depletion Reservoir the internal energy of the gas is the primary drive mechanism that moves the gas towards the surface. As gas is produced from the reservoir, the pressure in the reservoir declines.
Net Reservoir Cut-off If your 3D model is used for dynamic simulation the geomodeler can help the reservoir engineer by adjusting the cut out those cells that not contribute to fluid flow and can thus be voided to speed up run times. In this case the NtG cut off should be related to the Net Reservoir and calibrated to what cells contribute to flow.
As we discussed, there will be some water saturation in the reservoir also. In this section, we will discuss the material balance method for Volumetric Reservoirs (
Reservoir Volumetrics Module 1, Reservoir Engineering Primer, covers variables in volumetric equations, calculating original oil in place and calculating original gas in place.

Also Thickness: An important parameter in volumetric estimating is the thickness of Various types of thickness definitions used in oil industry are illustrated in Figure Within the reservoir interval, there are almost always intercalations of shale or 1 May 2019 The recommended method for determining how much oil and gas may be Figure 1 is an example of a triangular range of reservoir thickness
14 May 2019 In an oil reservoir, between 60 and 90 per cent of the pore volume is filled with oil and the rest with water. To be able to produce the oil, the oil that Volumetric estimates of OOIP original oil in place and OGIP original gas in place are based on a geological model that geometrically describes the volume of hydrocarbons in the reservoir. However, due mainly to gas evolving from the oil as pressure and temperature are decreased, oil at the surface occupies less space than it does in the subsurface. Equation 4.58d is the Material Balance Equation for volumetric reservoirs containing an undersaturated crude oil which remain above the bubble-point pressure. In this equation, the left-hand side represents the reservoir barrels removed from the reservoir through the production wells, while the right-hand side represents the expansion of oil in the reservoir.
