Oil Recovery Mechanisms and the Material Balance Equation

摘要: The chapter introduces and provides a detailed discussion of the various primary recovery mechanisms their effects on overall performance oil reservoirs. It also discusses basic principles material balance equation other governing relationships that can be used to predict volumetric Each reservoir is composed unique combination geometric form, geological rock properties, fluid characteristics, drive mechanism. Although no two reservoirs are identical in all aspects, they grouped according mechanism by which produce. has been observed each certain typical characteristics terms ultimate factor, pressure decline rate, gas-oil ratio water production. Therefore, any natural called recovery. term refers production hydrocarbons from without use process supplement energy reservoir.
