    PMRE 411: Reservoir Engineering

    Introduction to Reservoir Engineering

    Shaumik Rahman Ayon


    Lecturer
    Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Engineering
    Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET)
    What is Petroleum

    • Petroleum is a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbons.

    • Petroleum is a gaseous, liquid or semisolid substance, present in the pore space

    of porous rocks, referred to as reservoir rocks.

    Shaumik Rahman Ayon 2


    Petroleum Reservoirs

    3 major steps involved in the creation of Hydrocarbon Reservoirs:

    1. Origin of Hydrocarbon (Source Rock)

    2. Migration of Hydrocarbons

    3. Accumulation of Hydrocarbon (Reservoir Rock)

    Shaumik Rahman Ayon 3


    Origin of Hydrocarbon

    Shaumik Rahman Ayon 4


    Origin of Hydrocarbon

    • Dead organic matter buried under anoxic conditions for 100-400 millions years.

    • Layers of silt, sand and other sediments settled over.

    • The organic matter in sediments, subjected to increased temperature and

    pressure is converted into petroleum hydrocarbons.

    • The composition of the organic matter strongly influences whether the organic

    matter can produce coal, oil or gas.

    So… What is Reservoir Engineering?

    Reservoir Engineering includes but not limited to


    - Reserve estimation
    - Determining ultimate recovery potential
    - PVT analysis of reservoir fluids
    - Creating field development plans, well proposals, recovery procedures and reservoir management
    programs
    - Reservoir simulation to determine optimal development plans
    - Design and implementation of carbon sequestration projects
