 KOMPRESIBILITAS adalah ukuran perubahan
volume batuan terhadap perubahan tekanan yang
diberikan pada batuan

 Isothermal Compressibility

1  V 
C    
V  p 
C: Coefficient of Isothermal Compressibility
oilfield units: 1/psia
V: Volume , oilfield units: ft3
p: Pressure exerted on material oilfield units: psia

- Negative sign in equation determined by V/p term, to

force the coefficient C to be positive
-Volume is a function of pressure only (temperature is
constant, and amount of material is constant)

 Formation Compressibility
Matrix Compressibility ( Cm ): relative change in
volume of solid rock material (grain volume) per
unit pressure change (usually Cm  0).

Pore Compressibility ( Cf ): relative change in

pore volume per unit pressure change.

Bulk Compressibility ( Cb ): relative change in

bulk volume per unit pressure change ( usually
DVb  DVp). Significant decrease in bulk volume
can cause subsidence.

 Under static conditions, downward
1. overburden force must be balanced by upward
forces of the matrix and fluid in pores

 Pressure Gradients, Normal Reservoirs:
3.
dpo/dZ = 1.0 psia/ft
dp/dZ = 0.465 psia/ft

As fluids are produced from reservoir,

4.
fluid pressure (p) usually decreases while
overburden is constant, and:
(a) force on matrix increases ( “net
compaction pressure”,
pm=po-p)
(b) bulk volume decreases, and
(c) pore volume decreases.
