10.4 Introduction
This chepter presents methods for estimating original ges in place
‘gas reserves, and recovery factors for a variety of reservoir drive
mechanisms. The first section discusses volumetric methods, in-
cluding data requirermemts, calculation techniques, and limitations
‘of the methods. This first section includes equations for volumet-
tie dry reservoirs, dry-gas reservoirs with water influx. and volu-
metric wet-gas and gas-condensate reservoirs. Next, We discuss
analysis techniques based on material-balance concepts,

10.2 Volumetric Methods
Volumeirie methods consider the reservoir PY occupied by
hydrocarbons at initial conditions and at later conditions after some
sid preduction and sssociated pressure reduction. The later con-
ditions often are defined as the reservoir pressure at which pro-
duction is no longer economical. Volumetris methods are used exrly
in the life of a reservoir before significant development and fro:
duction. These methods, however, can also be applied later in a
reservoit's life and often are used to confirm estimates from
material balance calculations. The accuracy of volumetric estimates
depends on the availability of sufficient dat o characterize the reser
voir’s areal extent and variations in net thickness and, ultimately,
to determine the gas-bearing reservoir PV. Obviously, early inthe
productive life ofa reservoir when few data are available 10 estb-
lish subsurface geologic control, volumetric estimates are least ac~
‘orate, As more wells are drilled and more data become avilable,
the accuracy of these estimates improves.
Data used to estimate the gas-bearing re
are not limited to, well logs, core analy
(BHP) and fluid sample information, and we
cally are used to develop various subsurface maps. OF these maps.
structural and stratigraphic cross-sectional maps help to establish
the reservoir’s areal extent and to identify reservoir disconti
ties, such as pinchouts, faults, or gas/water contacts. Subsurface
contour maps, usually drawa relative to a known or marker for-
ration, sre constructed with lines connecting points of equal cle
vation and therefore portray the geologic structure, Subsurface
isopactous maps are constructed with ins of equal net
formation thickness, With these maps, the reserverr PV can then
be estimated by planitering the areas benseen te sopachod lines
