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
