Main natural source:

natural gase(up to 97% of methane; ethane,propane, CO2, N2)

petroleum(mixture of aliphatic, alicyclic, andpolycyclichydrocarbons C1-C50; thecomposition varies with its

location).

What is Hydrocarbon……?

fractions of petroleum: gas (C1-C4) ~ cooking gas

petroleum ether (C5-C6) ~solvent for org. chemicals

gasoline (C6-C12) ~ automobilefuel

kerosene (C11-C16) ~ rocketand jet fuel

fuel oil (C14-C18) ~ domesticheating

lubricating oil (C15-C24) ~lubricants for automobiles andmachines

A reservoir is that volume of rock that occurs down dip of a sealand up dip of the 100% Sw oil-free level. The HCs in the pore arein pressure and Sw equilibrium with the free water level

A petroleum reservoir is an accumulation of hydrocarbon(oil-gas-water) in porous rock

Rock and Liquid Expansion

• When an oil reservoir initially exists at a pressure higher thanits bubble-point pressure, the reservoir is called an undersaturated oil reservoir.

• At pressures above the bubble-point pressure, crude oil,connate water, and rock are the only materials present. Asthe reservoir pressure declines, the rock and fluids expanddue to their individual compressibility's.

• At pressures above the bubble-point pressure, crude oil,connate water, and rock are the only materials present. Asthe reservoir pressure declines, the rock and fluids expanddue to their individual compressibility's.

• The reservoir rock compressibility is the result of two factors:• Expansion of the individual rock grains• Formation compaction

This driving form may also bereferred to by the followingvarious terms:

• Solution gas drive• Dissolved gas drive• Internal gas drive

The Depletion Drive Mechanism

In this type of reservoir, theprincipal source of energy is a resultof gas liberation from the crude oiland the subsequent expansion of thesolution gas as the reservoirpressure is reduced. As pressurefalls below the bubble-pointpressure, gas bubbles are liberatedwithin the microscopic pore spaces

Gas Cap Drive

Gas-cap-drive reservoirs can beidentified by the presence of a gascap with little or no water drive asshown in figure on the left. Due tothe ability of the gas cap to expand,these reservoirs arecharacterized by a slow decline inthe reservoir pressure. The naturalenergy available to produce thecrude oil comes from the followingtwo sources:• Expansion of the gas-cap gas• Expansion of the solution gas as it

is liberated

The mechanism of gravity drainageoccurs in petroleum reservoirs as aresult of differences in densities ofthe reservoir fluids. The effects ofgravitational forces can be simplyillustrated by placing a quantity ofcrude oil and a quantity of water in ajar and agitating the contents. Afteragitation, the jar is placed at rest,and the more denser fluid (normallywater) will settle to the bottom ofthe jar, while the less dense fluid(normally oil) will rest on top of thedenser fluid. The fluids haveseparated as a result of thegravitational forces acting on them.

• Two combinations of driving forces can bepresent in combination drive reservoirs. Theseare (1) depletion drive and a weak water driveand; (2) depletion drive with a small gas cap anda weak water drive. Then, of course, gravitysegregation can play an important role in any ofthe aforementioned drives.

The Combination-Drive Mechanism

The driving mechanism most commonlyencountered is one in which both waterand free gas are available in some degreeto displace the oil toward the producingwells. The most common type of driveencountered, therefore, is acombination-drive mechanism asillustrated in Figure below.

Volumetric ParametersDefinitions / Conversions (III)

FVFs: Bo - Oil (dead) ~ 1.0 (RSB/STB), oil moderately gassy ~1.2RSB/STB, verygassy ~ 1.4 RSB/STB

Bg – Normally pressured (hydrostatic) FVF = Depth (in ft)/36.9

Example @ 5,000’ FVF = 136 RCF/SCF

Underpressured (Brooken Field example): .23 psi/ft (normal = .43 psi/ft)@ 1,400’ Bgi = 28 RCF/SCF (38 RCF/SCF if normally pressured)

Overpressured
