Holtz Method
Holtz developed a methodology to derive an empirical model
for maximum residual gas saturation (Sgrm) in gas
reservoirs. This method is based on the concept that the petro
physical properties are interrelated according to the geometry
of the pores of the rock. This method has four steps which
are:

The application of this pore-geometry measurement facilitates The last step to develop the Sgrm model is to integrate
the development of an equation for the initial gas saturation. equations 13, 14 and 15. They must be integrated in such a
The log (k) / ø corresponds to variations in capillary way that Sgrm is a Swirr function so that the initial condition
characteristics. The capillary pressure curves showing lower of Sgrm is less than or equal to the initial gas saturation.
irreducible water saturations correspond to relationships log This initial condition is met with the development of an

14, we obtain an expression that gives the porosity to which Using equation 19, a set of Swirr-Sgrm values can be
Equation 16 is sustained: determined. Substituting this set of values as constants and
applying them in equation 20, a group of IR curves is
obtained to vary the quality of the rock.

Applications
Note: The Ahmed method and the read method will be
applied to estimate the residual gas saturation, the holtz
method will not be used as it is an experimental method.
