Reseña del editor:

Working Guide to Reservoir Rock Properties and Fluid Flow provides an introduction to the properties of rocks and fluids that are essential in petroleum engineering. The book is organized into three parts. Part 1 discusses the classification of reservoirs and reservoir fluids. Part 2 explains different rock properties, including porosity, saturation, wettability, surface and interfacial tension, permeability, and compressibility. Part 3 presents the mathematical relationships that describe the flow behavior of the reservoir fluids. The primary reservoir characteristics that must be considered include: types of fluids in the reservoir, flow regimes, reservoir geometry, and the number of flowing fluids in the reservoir. Each part concludes with sample problems to test readers knowledge of the topic covered.

• Critical properties of reservoir rocks Fluid (oil, water, and gas)
• PVT relationships
• Methods to calculate hydrocarbons initially in place
• Dynamic techniques to assess reservoir performance
• Parameters that impact well/reservoir performance over time

Working Guide Reservoir Rock Properties and Fluid Flow

Tarek Ahmed

Senior Staff Advisor with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation

 

Gain critical insight into fluid storage and flow in reservoirs

Key Features

• Key exercises and practical examples from the field
• Dynamic techniques to assess reservoir performance
• Parameters that impact well/reservoir performance over time

Concise and readable, Working Guide to Reservoir Rock Properties and Fluid Flow provides engineers with a handy guide to the critical properties of reservoir rock fluids (oil, water, and gas), PVT relationships, and methods to calculate hydrocarbons initially in place. The book’s three part treatment starts with a clear exposition of the fundamentals of rock properties such as porosity, saturation and wettability followed by fundamentals of reservoir fluid behavior and fluid flow. With this guide, Engineers will gain valuable insight into the phenomena and dominate calculations that are common in the areas of reservoir and production engineering.

Topics covered in the guide include:

• Capillary pressure
• Permeability
• Rock compressibility
• Net pay thickness
• Reservoir heterogeneity
• Areal heterogeneity.

Concepts and practical examples in topics such as flow regimes, reservoir geometry and fluid flow equations are presented in a easy to understand manner to assist reservoir and exploitation engineers in their primary functions—the determination of oil and gas reserves and the maximization of hydrocarbon recovery under primary, secondary, and tertiary schemes.
