An oil reservoir has average diagenetic porosity of 10% and a CNL log measures a porosity of 15%. The oil reservoir is 200 acres, 10 ft thick, with residual oil saturation & initial water saturation of 25% each. The initial oil formation volume factor is 1.2 RB/STB. The maximum oil production from primary porosity would be closest to:
(A) 320 MSTB (B) 340 MSTB (C) 620 MSTB (D) 640 MSTB
Definitions from 15 LOG 4:
Total Porosity: (measured with nuclear tools)
…equals primary porosity + secondary porosity.
Primary Porosity (apparent, intergranular) used for reserves or maximum producible oil…equals total porosity – secondary porosity.
Secondary Porosity (isolated pores, vugs, and fractures)
also called diagenetic porosity
…may be overlooked by acoustic-logs
…equals total porosity – primary porosity
Therefore, for this problem, primary porosity is: 0.15 – 0.10 = 0.05 pu. And maximum oi production from primary porosity is: 7758(200)10(1-.25-.25)0.05(1/1.2) = 323MSTB or (A).
Can you repost 2016 #16 the link is not working.
ReplyDeleteI may have cross-threaded the numbers with another problem on #16; please just ignore it for now. Thanks.
DeleteHey Mr. Dammeyer, has #16 from the 2016 bank been linked correctly yet?
DeleteThanks.
