Tarner Method - Oil Reservoir
A saturated-oil reservoir has a bubble-point pressure of 2,100 psi at 175°F. The initial reservoir
pressure is 2,925 psi. The following data summarize the rock and fluid properties of the field:
Original oil in place = 10MMSTB
Connate water saturation = 15%
Porosity = 12%
Water compressibility = 3.6E-6 [1/psi]
Rock compressibility = 4.9E-6 [1/psi]
