Reservoir Engineering Using MS-Excel
Discover the power of reservoir engineering with Excel! This concise and practical guide provides an overview of key reservoir engineering concepts and techniques, along with step-by-step instructions on how to implement them using Excel. From analyzing reservoir properties to optimizing production strategies, this book equips reservoir engineers and petroleum professionals with the tools they need to maximize hydrocarbon recovery from oil and gas reservoirs. With real-world examples and practical tips, this short description captures the essence of how reservoir engineering and Excel can be combined to achieve optimal reservoir performance.
Description
Decline Curve Analysis: Excel can be used to plot and analyze production decline curves for individual wells or entire fields. This involves plotting the cumulative production versus time and fitting a decline curve equation to the data. This can provide insight into the reservoir's production behavior and estimate the future production potential.
Material Balance Analysis: Excel can also be used for material balance calculations, which are used to estimate the original oil or gas in place (OOIP or OGIP) and the remaining reserves in a reservoir. This involves tracking the changes in the reservoir's pressure, volume, and fluid properties over time, and using mathematical equations to estimate the OOIP or OGIP.
Economic Analysis: Excel can be used to perform economic analysis of oil and gas reservoirs, including calculating net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and other financial metrics. This can help to evaluate the economic feasibility of a reservoir development project and optimize production strategies.
Sensitivity Analysis: Excel can also be used to perform sensitivity analysis on various reservoir parameters, such as reservoir thickness, permeability, and porosity. This involves varying one or more parameters while holding others constant, and analyzing the impact on production and reserves. This can help to identify the most important reservoir parameters and optimize production strategies.
It is important to note that while Excel can be a useful tool for certain reservoir engineering calculations, it has limitations and should not be used as a substitute for specialized reservoir simulation software or other more comprehensive reservoir engineering tools.
