Aim
To determine the recoverable reserves of an oil reservoir when given a well
location map using Trapezoidal and Simpsons Rules as well as the following
properties:
. Porosity is 25%
. Water Saturation, Sw is 30%
. The oil formation Volume Factor, Boi is 1.210 res. bbl/stb
+ The recovery factor is 26%Procedure
‘A net pay isopach map was constructed by contouring the well location map
in Figure 1
SketchandCale, | hour, free trial software (https://www.sketchandcal
c.com/) was used to measure the areas enclosed by the contours in the net
pay isopach map shown in Figure 1.
Firstly, an image of the contoured map was uploaded to the software.
Next, the appropriate scale was inputted.
Then the area of the 0 contour line was measured twice.
After which the area of the 20 contour line was measured twice.
Lastly the area of the 40 contour line was measured twice.
Each of the following was then calculated using (i) Trapezoidal and (ii)
Simpson’s Rules:

The following were noted:
1) For the OTP values, and Recoverable Reserves, state values as either
MMSTB or BSTB (which is MMMSTB).Discussion
A planimeter is a mathematical instrument for directly measuring the area bounded
by an irregular curve. We use planimeters for the purpose of finding the area of
irregular shapes since the area can’t be acquired through the same methods used
for regularly shaped surfaces.
The Bulk volume when using the Trapezoidal Rule is equal to 853669.63 Acres-Ft
while the Bulk volume using Simson’s Rule is 844768.02 Acres-Ft. The Original
Oil in Place when using the Trapezoidal Rule is 957.838 MMSTB while the
Original Oil in Place using Simson’s Rule is 947.851 MMSTB. The Recoverable
Reserves when using the trapezoidal Rule is 249.0380 MMSTB while the
Recoverable Reserves using Simson’s Rule would be 246.441 MMSTB.
Both methods produce accurate results, but the Simpsons Rule is more accurate
than the Trapezoidal Rule. Simpson’s rule is used for integration in the plane, while
the trapezoidal rule is used to calculate definite integrals. To be more precise,
Simpson’s rule is a particular case of the Trapezoidal Rule where the number of
subintervals n is 3.Precautions
The area of the contour lines were taken more than once and the average of the
results was used in order to provide a close to accurate reading
Sources of Error
While measuring the area using wwwsketchandcale the outline of the contour lines
may not have been traced accurately due to the fact that a difficult drag-and-drop
method was used.
Conclusion
The purpose of this lab was to determine the recoverable reserves of an oil
reservoir when given a well location map using Trapezoidal and Simpsons Rules as
well as the following properties:
. Porosity is 25%
+ Water Saturation, Sw is 30%
+ The oil formation Volume Factor, Boi is 1.210 res. bbl/stb
+ The recovery factor is 26%
Therefore it can be concluded that upon completion of all necessary calculation:
the Recoverable Reserves of the oil reservoir would be 249.0380 MMSTB using
the Trapezoidal Rule and 246.0380 MMSTB using the Simpson’s Rule.References
