 WEEK 2

Properties discussed in this section include

porosity, isothermal compressibility and fluid
saturation. Another properties already discussed in
mekanika reservoir and three above will re-
discuss because its importance in fluid flow
calculation.
 POROSITY

Defined as ratio of pore volume to total bulk

volume of the rock
The ratio expressed either as fraction or percent
The value is usually report as total or an effective
porosity
 QUESTION

Mention any kind of porosity and which one more

important for petroleum engineer, explain it !
 ISOTHERMAL COMPRESSIBILITY

Change in porosity in given rock depends only on

difference between the internal and external
pressure, not on the absolute value of the
pressure
Defined as change in pore volume per unit
change in pressure
 FLUID SATURATION

The ratio of the volume that a fluid occupies to

the pore volume
Expressed as fraction or percentage
 END OF SECTION

Any question ??
