Reservoir Engg - EOR

This document discusses methods for estimating hydrocarbon reserves from reservoirs, including volumetric, material balance, and decline curve methods. It focuses on describing the volumetric method in more detail. The volumetric method estimates reserves by calculating the reservoir volume (AH) using different geometric formulas, taking into account parameters like structure area (A), net pay thickness (H), porosity, and water saturation. It can involve techniques like the trapezoidal rule, frustum of a cone formula, contour maps, and planimetering of structural and isopay maps. The accuracy of estimated reserves depends on the reliability of the input geological and production data used.

Estimation of Reserves
Introduction
Estimation of hydrocarbon reserves is carried out
to know the quantity of oil or natural gas present
in the reservoir.
It is prerogative to estimate the hydrocarbon
reserves correctly since the investment on
creation of facilities to produce from the reservoir
depends on this.
For estimation of reserves, several methods have
been in ofng and are being used.
Four popular methods are
Volumetric
method
Material
balance method
Decline curve
method (for oil only
Numerical
simulation method
The reserves are estimated at diferent stages.
Prior to drilling
of wells in the exploratory area – to justify the reason of drilling an exploratory
well
Just after
delineation of structure by drilling a few wells
After about one
year of production
Production
decline stage
Depletion stage
Volumetric method (Oil
reservoirs)
It is apparent that the requisite parameters viz. ‘A’
is determined from geological model, ‘H’, porosity
and water saturation from electro logs or from
cores and formation volume factor from PVT
reports or from standard correlations. The
accuracy of reserves thus depends on reliability of
these parameters.
The volume of Reservoir volume (AH) can be
computed from four methods discussed below:

rapezoidal rule

rustum of a cone formula

ontour area as a function of thickness

y planimetering of structural and isopay maps


Trapezoidal rule
Frustum of a Cone
formula
Contour area as a
function of thickness
Contour area vs thickness of the contour from
OWC (zero contour) is plotted. The area of the
figure obtained is computed either by graphical
method or by numerical integration or by
planimeter. The value so obtained gives the
volume of the reservoir containing oil (Fig 3.1)
By planimetering of
structural and isopay
maps
First, the structural contour map is drawn.
On this map, isopay map is superimposed.
In this way, the whole area is divided into several blocks.
Each block is separately planimetered and area so
obtained is multiplied by average thickness of isopay
contours.
All these values obtained for individual blocks are added.
The sum so obtained is equal to the volume of reservoir
containing oil.
