RESERVOIR ENGINEERING I

 LPTC

3003

OBJECTIVES: To enable the students to
• Understand the rock and fluid properties of a hydrocarbon reservoir
• Describe the nature of the fluid flow and pressure distribution in a reservoir
• Understand the effects of production/ injection on recovery of reserves

UNIT I

9

Introduction to Reservoir Engineering, Basic principles, definitions and data – Reservoir fluids, oil, gas, Gas formation volume factor, oil formation, volume factor, water formation volume factor – oil, gas water, rock compressibility – Resistivity index, wettabiity and contact angle, effective permeability characteristics, capillary pressure curves – Resistivity factors and saturation exponents. Fluid PVT analysis and oil gas phase behaviour.

UNIT II

9

Formation evaluation – General material balance equations in oil or combination reservoirs, predicting primary recovery in solution – Gas Drive, Reservoirs. Definition and classification of Reserves – methods of estimating Reserves – Production decline cures. Secondary Recovery – pressure maintenance – gas injection – water injection – spacing of wells and well patterns – peripheral or central flooding.


UNIT III

9

Fluid flow in reservoirs, Fluid movement in water flooded Reservoirs – Recovery efficiency – Areal or pattern. Sweep efficiency, - Vertical or invasion sweep efficiency, - Permeability variation – Cross flow – Estimates of volumetric sweep efficiency – Estimation of water flood recovery by material balance – prediction methods – Monitoring injectivity. Darey Law and application.

UNIT IV

9

Recommended methods for assessing residual oil – Existing wells, new wells, Chemical Flooding, Gas injection, Thermal recovery – Well Testing.

UNIT V

9

Well inflow equations for stabilized flow conditions. Constant terminal rate solution of the radial diffusivity equation and its application to oil well testing.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:
Students will understand the location, formation, fluid content of a hydrocarbon reservoir; understand the definitions of reserves; be aware of the role of reservoir engineering in exploration and development
