Estimating Initial Oil in Place

• One of the first tasks of the reservoir engineer is to

determine the original oil and original gas in place and the
recovery anticipated under the prevailing reservoir
mechanism(s).
• This provides an estimate of the hydrocarbons-in-place, from
which ultimate recovery can be estimated by using an
appropriate recovery factor

EUR(Estimated Ultimate Recovery)

•EUR(Estimated Ultimate Recovery)= N x RF

– Original solution gas in place = N x Rsi Scf
– Gas in place in the gas cap= mNRsi Scf

where
m = volume of gas cap/volume of oil zone
Rsi= initial solution gas/oil ratio, scf/stb.
