How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Gas Production, Oil Production, and Reservoir Pressure.
  2. Set Bubble Point Pressure, Reservoir Temperature, and Oil API Gravity.
  3. Review the Producing GOR (scf/bbl) result.
  4. Use Reservoir Fluid Type and Solution GOR (Standing) (scf/bbl) to inform your decision.
  5. Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.

How the result changes with Oil Production

Oil ProductionProducing GOR
10,00150 scf/bbl
35,00114 scf/bbl
65,0008 scf/bbl
90,0006 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

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Gas Production = 500000, Oil Production = 500, Reservoir Pressure = 3000, Bubble Point Pressure = 2500 = 6 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Producing GOR
    Producing GOR
    1000 = 1000
  3. Calculate Reservoir Fluid Type
    Reservoir Fluid Type
    2 = 2
  4. Calculate Solution GOR
    Solution GOR = rs
    674 = 674
