ON DEMAND RECORDING: Distinct Reservoir Engineering Aspects for Near Critical Reservoirs

Learn how to identify near critical fluids in your reservoir to decide production strategies.

- Design and interpret PVT tests for near critical fluids:

  • Constant Volume Depletion (CVD)
  • Constant Composition Expansion
  • Separator
  • Swelling
  • Viscosity and Interfacial Tension
  • Quality Control Tests

 - Estimate the original gas in place and the original oil in place, reserves, and future performance of retrograde gas and volatile oil reservoirs.

- Development of a Semi-Compositional Material Balance Equation for volatile and condensate systems.

- Evaluation of oil and gas in place from production and PVT data. Uses and limitations.

- Understand the impact of compositional gradients due to gravity and how to handle them in reservoir simulation.

- Develop a criteria for lumping and characterizing hypothetical components to simplify simulation. Learn from frequent lumping mistakes.

- Describe condensate banking problems and solutions:

  • Effects of reservoir heterogeneity
  • Production rates
  • Pressures
