RESERVOIR CHARACTERISTICS
Certain

fundamental conditions must be present in the reservoirs as, the porosity of the rock that indicates the percentage of capacity of storage of the total volume of the rock; the total volume of the reservoir that considerate the average thickness and extension; the presence of hydrocarbons at the place, given by the percentage of saturation, that is to say the percentage of the volume that form the pores and the space occupied for the hydrocarbons. These basic factors serve to estimate the volumetric aspect of the location. 3/12/13

RESERVOIR PRESSURE
The

reservoir pressure is very important because this induces the movement of the petroleum from the reservoir confines toward the wells and from the bottom to the surface. Of the magnitude the pressure depends if

RESERVOIR TEMPERATURE
In the practice we must take measures of temperature in the wells to have an idea of the temperature gradient that generally you expressed in 1 C by the way constant interval of depth. The knowledge of the gradient of temperature it is important and applicable in tasks as design and casing selection and production strings, perforation fluids and fluids for wells workovers, cementations and production studies.

CRUDE OIL VISCOSITY

The

oil viscosity represents their characteristic of fluency. The extra heavy oils are more viscous than the heavy oils. The heavy oils more viscous than the medium. The medium more viscous than the light. The light and condensed are the most fluids. Another index of appreciation of the oil fluency, is the API gravity that indicates the fluency.

HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
The hydrostatic pressure is the total pressure created by the weight of a column of fluid, acting in any point in a well. Hydro it means water, or fluid that exercises pressure as water, and static means without movement. This way hydrostatic pressure is the pressure originated by the density and the height of a stationary column (without movement) of fluid. We already know how to calculate a gradient of pressure of the weight of a fluid. The pressure hydrostatics can be calculated of a 3/12/13 gradient of pressure to a certain point:
