The Muskat technique is used to predict future reservoir's behavior taking into
consideration that there is no initial gas cap, no water influx, nor water production, i.e.
m=0 , =0 , and

We=0 . Based on this method, a program capable to calculate

the Gas-Oil ratio, the Oil Saturation as well as the recovery factor was created on Excel.
In addition, in order to demonstrate how these values relate each other, a plot is created
right after the calculations are done.
The initial PVT data used to calculate all others parameters are given and
displayed on sheet 1. The first parameter calculated was the oil formation volume factor
through the following equation:
dbo
=(boibo) /( PiPi+1 )
dP
To find bo

at a given pressure:

bo
Eq. 2
The next step was to find RS :

boi

dbo

* ( PiPi+1

Eq. 1

dRs
=(Rs iRs)/( PiPi +1)

Finding bg

gradient:

To find Bg

Eq. 5

at a given pressure:

Eq. 6
To find the oil saturation we need to calculate X(P), Y(P), and Z(P). These
parameters were calculated using the following equations:

Gathering these values we can calculate

So , So

and the Recovery

Factor:
First of all we need do set up the

kg

calculation. Considering the initial data

given and through linear regression we can find all others of

but when

So

kg

when So > 0.65,

< 0.65 we use the following equation:

log

Therefore:

kg

And;

Eq.14

And finally, the Recovery Factor is calculated by:

Eq. 15
After getting all these values we can plot Gas-Oil ratio and the Pressure decline
in function of the Recovery Factor.
