Calculation of Gas Recovery

Gas Recovery
43,560 Ah (1 S w )RF
Gas Re cov ery =
Bgi

A = drainage area in acre

h = thickness in ft
= Porosity (fraction)
Sw = Water saturation (fraction)
Bgi = Initial gas formation volume factor (ft3/SCF)
RF = Recovery factor (fraction)
 Gas Volume Calculation
NB
Gas volume = 43,560 Am hmm (1 S w )
m =1

Gas volume = volume of gas in reservoir ft3

NB = number of blocks
Am = drainage area for block m (acre)
h = thickness for block m (ft)
= Porosity for block m (fraction)
Sw = Water saturation (fraction)

 Zres Calculation
How to calculate Zres ??
Step 1:
Tres is known (available from logs/well test data)
Pres is known (available from logs/well test data)
Gas Composition is known
Step 2:
NC
Calculate the apparent molecular weight: MWa = xi M i
i =1
Calculate the gas gravity: g = MWa
28.964
 Zres Calculation
Step 3:
Obtain the pseudo critical pressure(Ppc) and pseudo
critical temperature(Tpc) of the gas from Figure A-2 using
gas gravity.

Correction for CO2, N2 and H2S if necessary.

Step 4:
Calculate the reduced temperature(Tr) and reduced
pressure(Pr)
Tr = Tres/Tpc ; Pr = Pres/Ppc
