 LPTC

3003

OBJECTIVES: To enable the students to understand
• Petroleum reservoir system and fluid properties
• Basic principles and operations in upstream petroleum industry

UNIT I

9

The earth, crust, plate tectonics and geologic times. Sedimentary geology, Basins and Margins. Origin, accumulation and migration of petroleum. Properties of subsurface fluids. Petroleum Chemistry.

UNIT II

9

Porosity and Permeability relationship – Porosity. Permeability. Porosity – Permeability relationship. Electrical properties of rocks. Measurement of formation resistivity. Correlation of FR with porosity, permeability and water saturation. FR of Shaley Reservoir rocks. Effect of stree on porous rocks. Formation evaluation.


UNIT III

9

Capillary Pressure and Wellability – Fluid Satuaration and Capacity pressure. Determination of capillary pressure. Pore size distribution. Wettability. Evaluation of wettability and its effect on oil recovery. Alteration of wettability. Effect of wettability on electrical properties of rocks.

UNIT IV

9

Linear flow of incompressible fluids. Darcy’s Law. Linear flow of gas. Darcy’s and Poiseuille’s laws. Various flow systems. Multiple permeability rocks.

UNIT V

9

Reservoir fluid properties – Phase behaviour of hydrocarbon system. Fluid rock interactions. Reservoir fluid characteristics. PVT analysis. Flash liberation and differential liberation study.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:
Student will learn the use of Darcy’s Law to calculate permeability of single phase; definition of interfacial tension; use of capillary pressure to determine saturation changes in reservoir; definition of effective and relative permeability; use of drainage/imbibition curves to characterize reservoir relative permeability.
