LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

The objectives of this Chapter is to enable the Petroleum Engineer to understand

the various steps by which volumetric hydrocarbons can be calculated using
maps and log/core data.

The topics covered in this Chapter include:

• Definition of gross/net sand and gross/net pay

• Methods for determining gross rock volume

• Reserve parameter distributions

• Calculation of volumetric reserves by detenninistic and stochastic methods

An understanding of these topics will enable the student to determine volumetric

hydrocarbons in the reservoir.
