Background…Unit and Conversion
Unit Remarks
SCF Standard Cubic Feet
MMSCF Million Standard Cubic Feet
BCF Billion Standard Cubic Feet
TCF Trillion Standard Cubic Feet

Unit Conversion
MSCF 10^3 SCF
MMSCF 10^6 SCF
BCF 10^9 SCF
TCF 10^12 SCF
Quiz..
A well produced 1 MMSCFD
Conversion How many LPG 3kg we got from this well?

1 Acre = 4047 m2 Answer

(1x 10^6)/(47*3)
= 7092 buah
1 km2 = 247 Acre
1 hectare= 10000 m2 = 2.47 Acre

Methods and Tools

The oil and gas reserves estimation methods can be

grouped into the following categories:
1. Analogy
2. Volumetric
3. Decline analysis
4. Material balance calculations
5. Reservoir simulation

Volumetric Method

Data: well logs, core analysis, PVT analysis, and well tests 
Porosity (), Water Saturation (Sw), Formation Volume Factor
(Bg), and Reservoir Pressure.

Various subsurface maps:

Structural map, stratigraphic cross-sectional map,
Contour map, Isopachous maps  Formation Area (A) and Thickness (h)

.
. .

Where:
43560 = conversion factor, scf/ Acre-ft A = area of reservoir, acres  = porosity
G = Original gas in place (OGIP), scf h = average reservoir thickness, ft Swi = water saturation, and
Bgi = gas formation volume factor, ft3/scf

Volumetric Method..Example

.
A = 3000 Acres

Ø = 0.15
h = 30 ft
Swi = 0.2
Bgi = 0.0054 Cuft/Scf
