*Petroleum Reservoirs Production

from Petroleum Reservoirs.


* Four types of Reserves to
be estimated:-

1- Free gas or associated gas.


2- Dissolved Gas.
3- The oil in oil Zone.
4- Recoverable natural gas
liquid from gas cap.

* Reserves are estimated volumes of


crude oil,condensate,natural gas, natural gas liquid .

• The initial production of hydrocarbons is
accomplished by use of natural reservoir
