Primary Reservoir Characteristics
Flow in porous media is a very complex phenomenon and cannot
be described as explicitly as flow through pipes or conduits.
In porous media flow is different in that there are no clear-cut
flow paths which lend themselves to measurement.
The analysis of fluid flow in porous media has evolved throughout
the years along two fronts: the experimental and the analytical.
Experimentally derived laws and correlations that can then be utilized
to make analytical predictions for similar systems.
Mathematical relationships describe the flow behavior of the
reservoir fluids. These relationships vary depending upon
reservoir characteristics that include:
types of fluids in the reservoir
flow regimes
reservoir geometry
number of flowing fluids in the reservoir.

Types of Fluids
The isothermal compressibility coefficient is
essentially the controlling factor in identifying the
type of the reservoir fluid. In general, reservoir
fluids are classified into three groups:
incompressible fluids
slightly compressible fluids
compressible fluids (gases)
The isothermal compressibility coefficient c is
described mathematically by the following two
equivalent expressions: In terms of fluid volume:
