How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Gas Production, Oil Production, and Reservoir Pressure.
- Set Bubble Point Pressure, Reservoir Temperature, and Oil API Gravity.
- Review the Producing GOR (scf/bbl) result.
- Use Reservoir Fluid Type and Solution GOR (Standing) (scf/bbl) to inform your decision.
- Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.
How the result changes with Oil Production
| Oil Production | Producing GOR |
|---|---|
| 10,001 | 50 scf/bbl |
| 35,001 | 14 scf/bbl |
| 65,000 | 8 scf/bbl |
| 90,000 | 6 scf/bbl |
What each input means
- Gas Production
- Daily gas production in standard cubic feet per day.
- Oil Production
- Daily oil production in stock tank barrels per day.
- Reservoir Pressure
- Current average reservoir pressure in psi.
- Bubble Point Pressure
- Pressure at which dissolved gas begins to come out of solution.
- Reservoir Temperature
- Average reservoir temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
- Oil API Gravity
- API gravity of the produced oil.
What each result means
- Reservoir Fluid Type
- 1=Heavy Oil, 2=Black Oil, 3=Volatile Oil, 4=Gas Condensate, 5=Dry Gas
- Above Bubble Point
- 1 = Yes (undersaturated), 0 = No (saturated)
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersGas Production = 500000, Oil Production = 500, Reservoir Pressure = 3000, Bubble Point Pressure = 2500 = 6 input(s) provided
- Calculate Producing GORProducing GOR1000 = 1000
- Calculate Reservoir Fluid TypeReservoir Fluid Type2 = 2
- Calculate Solution GORSolution GOR = rs674 = 674
