Gas saturation - Water-drive gas reservoirs

Input(s)

\(G\): Gas Initially in Place (SCF)

\(G_{p}\): Cumulative Gas Production (SCF)

\(B_{g}\): Volume Factor \((\mathrm{bbl} / \mathrm{SCF})\)

\(B_{g i}\): Initial Gas Formation Factor (bbl/SCF)

\(W_{e}\): Cumulative Water Influx \((\mathrm{bbl})\)

\(W_{p}\): Cumulative Water Production (STB)

\(B_{w}\): Water Formation Volume Factor (rb/STB)

\(S_{w i}\): Initial Water Saturation (fraction)

\(S_{\text {grw }}\): Residual Gas Saturation to Water Displacement (fraction)

Output(s)

\(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{g}}\): Gas Saturation (fraction)

Formula(s)

\[ \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{g}}=\frac{\left(G-G_{p}\right) * B_{g}-\frac{W_{e}-W_{p} * B_{w}}{1-S_{w i}-S_{g r w}} * S_{g r w}}{\left(\frac{G * B_{g i}}{1-S_{w i}}\right)-\left(\frac{W_{e}-W_{p} * B_{w}}{1-S_{w i}-S_{g r w}}\right)} \]
