How to Calculate and Solve for Total Compressibility of a Reservoir Fluid Flow | The Calculator Encyclopedia
Last Updated on February 28, 2024
The image above represents the total compressibility. To calculate the total compressibility, seven essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Water compressibility (Cw), Oil compressibility (Co), Gas compressibility (Cg), Rock compressibility (Cr), water saturation (Sw), Oil saturation (So) and Gas saturation (Sg).
The formula for calculating the total compressibility:
CT = CoSo + CgSg + CwSw + Cr
Where;
CT = Total Compressibility
Cw = Water Compressibility
And Co = Oil Compressibility
Cg = Gas Compressibility
Cr = Rock Compressibility
Also, Sw = Water Saturation
So = Oil Saturation
Sg = Gas Saturation
Let’s solve an example;
With a given value of 13 as water compressibility, 17 as oil compressibility, 19 as gas compressibility, 25 as rock compressibility, 24 as water saturation, 29 as oil saturation and 21 as gas saturation.
Find the total compressibility?
This implies that;
Cw = Water Compressibility = 13
Co = Oil Compressibility = 17
And Cg = Gas Compressibility = 19
Cr = Rock Compressibility = 25
Sw = Water Saturation = 24
Also, So = Oil Saturation = 29
Sg = Gas Saturation = 21
CT = CoSo + CgSg + CwSw + Cr
CT = (17 x 29) + (19 x 21) + (13 x 24) + 25
Then, CT = 493 + 399 + 312 + 25
CT = 1229
Therefore, the total compressibility is 1229 psi.
