Note: This question paper contains two parts A and B. Part A is compulsory which carries 25 marks. Answer all questions in Part A. Part B consists of 5 Units. Answer any one full question from each unit. Each question carries 10 marks and may have a, b, c as sub questions.

Part A

125 marks
a

What is effective porosity?

2 marks

Answer

Effective porosity is the ratio of the volume of interconnected pore spaces through which fluids can flow to the total bulk volume of the rock. It excludes isolated pores that do not contribute to fluid permeability.

b

What is saturation?

3 marks

Answer

Saturation is defined as the fraction or percentage of the total pore volume of a reservoir rock that is occupied by a specific fluid (oil, gas, or water). It is expressed as the ratio of the volume of the fluid to the total pore volume.

c

Write short note on gas cap drive.
