Types of Reservoir Energy

The document outlines five major types of energy available for petroleum production: 1) the energy of compression of water and rock within the reservoir, 2) the energy of compression of oil within the reservoir, 3) the energy of compression of gas within the reservoir, 4) the energy of compression of waters contiguous to and in communication with the petroleum reservoir, and 5) the gravitational energy that causes oil and gas to segregate within the reservoir. It further defines water, oil, and gas within the reservoir.

Types of Reservoir Energy

The following list outlines the major types of energy available for petroleum production.

The energy of compression of the water and rock within the reservoir.

The energy of compression of oil within the reservoir.

The energy of compression of gas within the reservoir.

The energy of compression of waters contiguous to and in communication with the petroleum reservoir.

The gravitational energy that causes the oil and gas to segregate within the reservoir.

Water within the reservoir refers to the water that is originally present within the reservoir at the time of discovery.
Oil within the reservoir refers to the oil phase that is originally present at discovery or that may form from the
condensation of volatilized oil upon pressure release. Likewise, gas within the reservoir refers to the gas phase
that is originally present at discovery or that may form subsequently from the liberation of dissolved gas upon
pressure release.
