Riassunto

Reservoir Rock Properties and Fluid Flow covers properties of natural rocks and fluids that are important in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering. In this book major emphasis is placed on fluid storage in reservoir rocks and in flow of fluids through the rock's pore structure. These phenomena dominate calculations that are common in the areas of reservoir and production engineering. This book is designed for technical professionals and introduces readers to the fundamental as well as the advanced aspects of reservoir engineering. Theoretical concepts coupled with numerous practical case histories are presented to assist reservoir and exploitation engineers in their primary functions-the determination of oil and gas reserves and the maximization of hydrocarbon recovery under primary, secondary, and tertiary schemes.

Working Guide Reservoir Rock Properties and Fluid Flow

Tarek Ahmed

Senior Staff Advisor with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation

Gain critical insight into fluid storage and flow in reservoirs

Key Features

• Key exercises and practical examples from the field
• Dynamic techniques to assess reservoir performance
• Parameters that impact well/reservoir performance over time

Concise and readable, Working Guide to Reservoir Rock Properties and Fluid Flow provides engineers with a handy guide to the critical properties of reservoir rock fluids (oil, water, and gas), PVT relationships, and methods to calculate hydrocarbons initially in place. The book’s three part treatment starts with a clear exposition of the fundamentals of rock properties such as porosity, saturation and wettability followed by fundamentals of reservoir fluid behavior and fluid flow. With this guide, Engineers will gain valuable insight into the phenomena and dominate calculations that are common in the areas of reservoir and production engineering.

Topics covered in the guide include:

• Capillary pressure
• Permeability
• Rock compressibility
• Net pay thickness
• Reservoir heterogeneity
• Areal heterogeneity.

Concepts and practical examples in topics such as flow regimes, reservoir geometry and fluid flow equations are presented in a easy to understand manner to assist reservoir and exploitation engineers in their primary functions—the determination of oil and gas reserves and the maximization of hydrocarbon recovery under primary, secondary, and tertiary schemes.
