describe the five types of reservoirs and draw pressure-temperature phase diagram of each fluid

Expert Solution
Step 1

Types of Reservoirs :

  1. Single phase gas reservoir: It primary consist of recovery mechanism of volumetry gas drive. initially condition of reservoir is single phase gas. In this reservoir the fluid remains same as the gas. It produces primary gas hydrocarbons
  2. Gas condensate reservoir: it also primary consists of recovery mechanism of volumetric gas drive. Initially the condition of reservoir is single-phase gas. In this reservoir a liquid gets condensed. It produces gas and condensed hydrocarbons.
  3. Under saturated oil reservoir : this reservoir consist of depletion drive for water drive mechanism. Initially the condition of reservoir is single phase oil. In this reservoir  gas gets vaporized. It produces oil and gas hydrocarbons.
  4. Saturated oil reservoir : It consists of many mechanism like volumetric gas drive depletion drive and water drive. Initially the condition of reservoir is two phase oil and gas. It produces oil and gas hydrocarbons.
  5. Hydrocarbon reservoir : hydrocarbon reservoir initially at single-phase state or two phase state depending upon the temperature and pressure depending upon  their phase envelopes.
