Reservoir Characterisation
How much is there?. Porosity, permeability, saturation and PVT, volumetric reserves, SPE-PRMS classification and material balance.
- Reservoir Rock & Fluid Properties — What the reservoir is made of. Learn porosity (total and effective), permeability and Darcy's law, fluid saturations, Archie's equation and well logs, capillary pressure and wettability, relative permeability, compressibility, reservoir fluids (black oil, volatile oil, gas condensate, wet and dry gas), phase diagrams, bubble point, PVT properties (B_o, R_s, B_g, viscosity) and gas Z-factor — with Python for Archie saturation, core Darcy flow and formation volume factor.
- Reserves Estimation & Material Balance — How much oil and gas is there, and how much can we recover? Learn volumetric STOIIP and GIIP, net-to-gross and contacts, recovery factors and drive mechanisms (solution gas, gas cap, water drive, compaction), the SPE-PRMS reserves classification (1P/2P/3P), probabilistic estimation with Monte Carlo (P90/P50/P10), material balance equations and the gas p/Z plot — with Python for volumetrics and a Monte Carlo reserves range.
