Gas Reservoirs
• The main difference between natural gas as a produced phase and oil
as a produced phase is the highly compressible nature of gas.
• Therefore, the Real Gas Law will be used to develop equations for the
stabilized inflow performance relationships, the transient diffusivity
equation, material balance equation, and decline curve analysis.
Reservoir Fluids Classification
• Reservoir fluids can be identified based on:
• Initial reservoir pressure & temperature
• Fluid status & conditions
• Reservoir fluid composition
• Production performance
Retrograde Gas
Heavy Oil

Original Gas In-Place (OGIP)
• The Volumetric Method for OGIP is essentially the same for gas
reservoirs.
• The method uses static geologic data to determine the volume of the
pore space of the reservoir.
• Once the volume of the pore space is estimated, then the gas formation
volume factor, Bg can be used to estimate the OGIP.
