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

Write in short about porosity and its types.

2 marks

Answer

Porosity is the ratio of the pore volume to the bulk volume of a rock. It is classified as primary porosity, which forms during the deposition of the rock, and secondary porosity, which develops after deposition due to processes like fracturing, dissolution, or dolomitization.

b

What are the parameters required for calculation of oil in place, give a brief description?

3 marks

Answer

The calculation of Stock Tank Oil Initially In Place (STOIIP) requires the following parameters:

  • Bulk Volume (V): The total volume of the reservoir rock.
  • Porosity (φ): The fraction of the rock volume available for fluid storage.
  • Water Saturation (Sw): The fraction of pore space occupied by water.
  • Formation Volume Factor (Bo): The factor converting reservoir oil volume to surface oil volume.
c

Write the principle for material balance for oil reservoir.
