Part 6_7 (Estimation of OOIP_OGIP) - Edited
Reservoir Hydrocarbon Pore Volume, HCPV (expressed in ft3): To get HCPV in ft3 with Area
still given in Acres, we simply multiply the RHS of equation 6.9 by 43560 (because 1 acre =
43560ft2) to get equation 6.10 below:

Solution:
1. Reservoir Bulk Volume, BV:
Using equation 6.6,
𝐵𝑉 = 𝐴ℎ = 1600 𝐴𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑠 × 135 𝑓𝑡 = 𝟐𝟏𝟔, 𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝑨𝒄𝒓𝒆 − 𝒇𝒕
2. Reservoir Pore Volume, PV:
Using equation 6.8,
𝑃𝑉 = 𝐴ℎϕ = 1600 𝐴𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑠 × 135 𝑓𝑡 × 0.22 = 𝟒𝟕, 𝟓𝟐𝟎 𝑨𝒄𝒓𝒆 − 𝒇𝒕
3. Reservoir Hydrocarbon Pore Volume, HCPV, in Acre-ft:
Using equation 6.9,
𝐻𝐶𝑃𝑉 = 𝐴ℎϕ(1 − Swi ) = 1600 𝐴𝑐𝑟𝑒 × 135 𝑓𝑡 × 0.22 × (1 − 0.2) = 𝟑𝟖, 𝟎𝟏𝟔 𝑨𝒄𝒓𝒆 − 𝒇𝒕
𝐻𝐶𝑃𝑉 = 7758
CU PET 323, 𝐴ℎϕ(1 − Swi ) = 7758 × 1600 𝐴𝑐𝑟𝑒
2012/2013 × 135 𝑓𝑡 × 0.22 × (1 − 0.2)

7. Ultimate Recovery, UR
Using equation 6.1,
𝑈𝑅𝑜𝑖𝑙 = 𝑁 × 𝑅𝐹 = 239,772,526 𝑆𝑇𝐵 × 0.293 = 𝟕𝟎, 𝟐𝟓𝟑, 𝟑𝟓𝟎 𝑺𝑻𝑩
8. Reserves
Using equation 6.3,
𝑅𝑜𝑖𝑙 = 𝑈𝑅𝑜𝑖𝑙 − 𝑁𝑝 = 𝟕𝟎, 𝟐𝟓𝟑, 𝟑𝟓𝟎 𝑺𝑻𝑩 − 𝟓 × 𝟏𝟎𝟔 𝑺𝑻𝑩 = 𝟔𝟓, 𝟐𝟓𝟑, 𝟑𝟓𝟎 𝑺𝑻𝑩
Work Example
A gas reservoir has the following characteristics:
;
Calculate the cumulative gas production and recovery factor at 1,000 and 400 psi
The recovery factors for volumetric gas reservoirs will range from 80% to 90%. If a strong
water drive is present, trapping of residual gas at higher pressures can reduce the recovery
factor substantially, to the range of 50% to 80%.
