The world's oil reserves are where the world's oil supplies are located. This is exceptionally important in monitoring the world's oil supply.

What is the definition of oil rim?

In petroleum engineering, an oil rim field is an oil field with a relatively thin oil zone below a gas cap. At the edges of the reservoir there will ususally be an area where the top of the reservoir is below the gas/oil contact, thus forming a "rim" containing only oil, with no overlying gas.


What is the oil cumulative volume vs pressure graph?

The oil cumulative volume vs. pressure graph typically illustrates the relationship between the cumulative volume of oil produced from a reservoir and the corresponding reservoir pressure over time. As pressure decreases due to production, the cumulative volume of oil extracted generally increases, reflecting the depletion of the reservoir. This graph is essential for analyzing reservoir performance and can help predict future production trends and recovery efficiency. It often shows a decline in pressure and a corresponding increase in cumulative production, highlighting the effects of reservoir depletion on oil extraction.


What is good permeability in oil reservoir rock?

Good permeability in oil reservoir rock refers to its ability to allow fluids to flow through it easily. This enables oil to be extracted more efficiently. High permeability is desirable as it allows for the movement of oil from the rock to the wellbore.


What replaces oil once it is removed from the ground?

After oil is removed from the ground, it can be replaced with water, natural gas, or steam to maintain pressure in the reservoir and continue extracting oil. Alternatively, the reservoir may be left to naturally produce oil through pressure differentials.


What is remaining oil saturation?

Remaining oil saturation refers to the amount of oil that remains in the pore spaces of a reservoir rock after primary and secondary recovery processes have been applied. It is typically expressed as a percentage of the total pore volume and is a critical factor in assessing the efficiency of oil extraction methods. Understanding remaining oil saturation helps in evaluating the potential for enhanced oil recovery techniques to extract additional hydrocarbons from the reservoir.

What is the difference between water injection and water flooding?

I do not think that there is any difference. Petroleum engineers normally inject water into an oil reservoir to maintain the reservoir pressure (and hence the ability of the reservoir to pump oil to the surface). In the process and if the water injection wells are properly located, the injected water normally sweeps (pushes out) out more oil effectively flooding the reservoir and increasing the amount of oil that is recovered from the reservoir. This incremental oil will otherwise be left behind in the reservoir. Hence, in an oil reservoir where the natural aquifer is large and strong enough to maintain the reservoir pressure, water injection is unlikely to significantly increase the oil recovery from the reservoir.
