from the Surface Tank Hydrocarbon Initial In Place (STHCIIP):

{\rm RF}(t) = \frac{{Q_{HC}}(t)}{{\rm V_{\rm STHCIIP}}}


It always ranges 

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--0 \leq %7B\rm RF%7D(t) \leq %7B\rm EUR%7D \leq 100 \%25
and is related to Depletion Factor (DF) as:

LaTeX Math Block

alignmentleft
{\rm RF} (t) = {\rm EUR} \cdot {\rm DF}(t)

where EUR is Estimated Ultimate Recovery.


The Recovery Factor concept splits naturally into two categories: 

Oil Recovery Factor (RFO)Gas Recovery Factor (RFG)

{\rm RFO} = \frac{Q^{\uparrow}_O}{V_{\rm STOIIP}}
