FIVE RESERVOIR FLUIDS


1.

Black oil: GOR of 2000 scf/STB or less. stock tank oil gravity is usually below 45 API. stock tank oil is dark indicating of presence heavy hydrocarbons. Color is often black or brown.

FIVE RESERVOIR FLUIDS


Volatile oil: Initial gas-oil ratios between 2000-3300 scf/STB. Stock-tank oil gravity is usually 40 API or more. Stock tank color is brown ,orange or green. Oil formation volume factor is usually greater than 2.0 res bbl/STB. Retrograde Gas: Initial gas-oil ratio is more than 3300scf/STB up. Practically gas-oil ratios more than 50000 scf/STB are usually treated as wet gases. Stock-tank oil gravity is between 40 API and 60 API. Liquid can be lightly colored, brown, orange greenish or waterwhite.

FIVE RESERVOIR FLUIDS

Wet gas: A wet gas exists solely as a gas in the reservoir throughout the reduction in reservoir pressure. Produced stock tank liquid gravity is the same as retrograde gas however it doesnt change during the life of the reservoir. Dry Gas: is simply methane with some intermediates. No liquid is formed at the surface.
