How to Calculate and Solve for Gas Initially in Place of a Reservoir Fluid Flow | The Calculator Encyclopedia

Last Updated on February 28, 2024

The image above represents gas initially in place. To calculate gas initially in place, five essential parameters are needed and these parameters are drainage area (A), initial gas FVF (B_gi), initial water saturation (S_wi), porosity (φ) and thickness (h).

The formula for calculating gas initially in place:

G = ^{43560Ah φ (1 – S_wi)} / _Bgi

Where;

G = Gas Initially in Place
A = Drainage Area
B_gi = Initial Gas FVF
S_wi = Initial Water Saturation
φ = Porosity
h = Thickness

Let’s solve an example;
Find the gas initially in place with a drainage area of 44, initial gas FVF of 23, initial water saturation of 32, porosity of 18 and exponent of 14.

This implies that;

A = Drainage Area = 44
B_gi = Initial Gas FVF = 23
S_wi = Initial Water Saturation = 32
φ = Porosity = 18
h = Thickness = 14

G = ^{43560Ah φ (1 – S_wi)} / _Bgi
G = ^{43560 x 44 x 14 x 18 (1 – 32)} / ₂₃
So, G = ^{43560 x 44 x 14 x 18 (-31)} / ₂₃
G = ^-14972791680 / ₂₃
G = -650990942.6

Therefore, the gas initially in place is -650990942.6
