Porosity represents the void space in a rock.
It can be quantified by dividing the void
POROSITY space by the bulk volume of the rock. In
general, porosity can be classified as
primary and secondary porosity
POROSITY IN
NATURALLY FRACTURED RESERVOIR
An estimate fracture porosity is necessary to calculate the initial gas in place within
fracture system. The fracture porosity is equal to total porosity times the partitioning coefficient.
Total porosity can be calculated from logs , shole core analysis , and/or as a function
of the matric porosity and the partitioning coefficient from the equation.
The partitioning coefficient represents the fraction of total porosity made up
offractures. Its value can be estimated form cores using the method of locke and bliss, from well logs
using or from pressure analysis. The matrix porosity can be obtained from intergranular unfractured
core plugs in the laboratory.
FLUID
SATURATION
FLUID
SATURATION
• In typical field, fluids consists of connate water, oil, & free gas
• Water saturation (Sw) = volume filled by water/total pore volume
• The gas saturation (Sg) = volume filled by gas/total pore volume
• If gas & water are the only fluids present : Sw + Sg = 1
• Sw tends to increase as the porosity decrease
• Total water saturation , total water saturation can be calculated using pickets cross plots of the
statistical analysis discusid previously
• Water saturation in the fractures , the porosity of estimating water saturation in fractures is usually
overlooked in petroleum engineering literature but it is possible to make such estimate.

MATERIAL-BALANCE
DETERMINATION OF OGIP
• Material-balance equations provide a relationship between original fluids in place, cumulative fluid
production, and average reservoir pressure. For many gas reservoirs, a simple material-balance
equation can be derived on the basis of the following assumptions:
• Gas-filled pore volume is constant
• Gas dissolved in water or liberated from the rock is negligible
• Reservoir temperature is uniform and constant

• In volumetric dry- and wet-gas reservoirs, p/z vs. cumulative gas production will be a straight line
intercepting the gas-production axis at the OGIP.
• When only a small amount of early data is available, the OGIP can be determined from any point
