Reservoir Engineering -1 Syllabus for B.Tech 5th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Reservoir Engineering -1 B.Tech (R13) fourthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVE: To enable the students to
- Understand the rock and fluid properties of a hydrocarbon reservoir
- Describe the nature of the fluid flow and pressure distribution in a reservoir
- Understand the effects of production/ injection on recovery of reserves
UNIT I [9 Hours]
Introduction to Reservoir Engineering, Basic principles, definitions and data – Reservoir fluids, oil, gas, Gas formation volume factor, oil formation, volume factor, water formation volume factor – oil, gas water, rock compressibility – Resistivity index, wettabiity and contact angle, effective permeability characteristics, capillary pressure curves – Resistivity factors and saturation exponents. Fluid PVT analysis and oil gas phase behaviour.
UNIT II [9 Hours]
Formation evaluation – General material balance equations in oil or combination reservoirs, predicting primary recovery in solution – Gas Drive, Reservoirs. Definition and classification of Reserves – methods of estimating Reserves – Production decline cures. Secondary Recovery – pressure maintenance – gas injection – water injection – spacing of wells and well patterns – peripheral or central flooding.
UNIT III [9 Hours]
Fluid flow in reservoirs, Fluid movement in water flooded Reservoirs – Recovery efficiency – Areal or pattern. Sweep efficiency, – Vertical or invasion sweep efficiency, – Permeability variation – Cross flow – Estimates of volumetric sweep efficiency – Estimation of water flood recovery by material balance – prediction methods – Monitoring injectivity. Darey Law and application.
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
OUTCOME:
Students will understand the location, formation, fluid content of a hydrocarbon reservoir; understand the definitions of reserves; be aware of the role of reservoir engineering in exploration and development
