Ratio of cumulative oil production Q^{\uparrow}_O to STOIIP V_{\rm STOIIP}:
(1) | {\rm RFO} = \frac{Q^{\uparrow}_O}{V_{\rm STOIIP}} |
Proxy Model NDR
For waterless period of production:
(2) | {\rm RFO} = \frac{c_t \cdot (p_i - p_e)}{1-s_{wi}} |
where
E_S | sweep efficiency |
---|---|
E_{Dow} | water-oil displacement efficiency |
p_i | initial formation pressure |
p_e | current formation pressure |
s_{wi} | initial water saturation |
c_t = c_r + s_{wi} c_w + (1-s_{wi}) c_o | total compressibility |
c_r | pore compressibility |
c_w | water compressibility |
c_o | oil compressibility |
Proxy Model WF
For isotropic homogenous water propagation and pressure maintenance at initial formation pressure:
(3) | {\rm RFO} = E_S \cdot E_D |
where
E_S | sweep efficiency |
---|---|
\displaystyle E_{Dow} = \frac{1-s_w}{1-s_{wi}-s_{orw}} | water-oil displacement efficiency |
s_w | current formation water saturation |
s_{wi} | initial water saturation |
s_{orw} | residual oil saturation to water sweep |
