Abdus Satter, Ghulam M. Iqbal, in, 2016 IntroductionReservoir engineers play an important role in assessing and enhancing petroleum reserves. Generally speaking, petroleum reserves relate to the volumes of oil and gas that can be recovered from reservoirs technically and economically. Technical methodology must be available to produce oil and gas from the subsurface reservoir conditions. Economic considerations include profitable capital investment that factors in the cost of discovery, development, facilities, production, and transport, among others. This chapter highlights the various topics related to petroleum reserves and attempts to address the following queries:.What are the petroleum reserves? How are the reserves defined?.How are various types of oil and gas reserves distinguished from each other?.How do technological innovations, probability of occurrences, and commercial viability influence the classification of reserves?.How are unconventional petroleum reserves distinguished from conventional reserves?.What are the petroleum resources?
How are the resources categorized?.How are reserves estimated and reported for oil and gas reservoirs?.Do petroleum reserves change with time? If yes, what are the factors responsible for change?.Are there any inherent uncertainties in petroleum reserves estimation?.What are the potential sources of errors in estimating reserves? Reservoir engineers adopt various strategies in the development of low to ultralow permeability reservoirs, including the unconventional reservoirs. Some of the methods are as follows:.Infill drilling, resulting in relatively close well spacing.Horizontal drilling, single lateral or multilateral.Well stimulation by hydraulic fracturing and acidization.Reservoir management based on intensive monitoring of well performance, including the deployment of permanent downhole gauges. This leads to the evaluation of formation damage, well productivity, and reservoir performance as a whole on a regular basis.
Various aspects of horizontal well technology have been discussed in an earlier chapter. This chapter discusses infill wells that are drilled as a widely practiced strategy in the oil and gas industry. Infill wells contact the portion that was not contacted before and produce additional quantities of oil and gas.
Some of the benefits of infill drilling are:.Better reservoir economics and addition of assets as more wells are drilled in appropriate locations.Long lasting production in commercial quantities from low to ultralow permeability formations.Increased rock exposure to wellbores where severe reservoir heterogeneities exist.Increase in horizontal and vertical sweep efficiency during waterflood.Enhancement in connectivity between injectors and producers.Longer reservoir life. The following types of reservoir are best suited for the implementation of infill drilling technology:.Tight reservoirs having low to ultralow permeability.
