Petroleum Engineering 306 Reservoir Rock Properties Lesson 12 - Flow in Layered Reservoirs and Flow in Channels and Fractures September 27, 1991 Quote du Jour; Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects. - Will Rogers Objectives: (things you should know and/or be able to do) - Be able to derive and use the steady-state average permeability relations for layers in parallel and in serics, in linear and radial geometries. - Be able to derive and use permeability relations for flow in fractures and channels. Lecture Out - Derivation average permeability relations for layered reservoirs in linear flow. ~ flow in parallel ~ flow in series ~ Derivation average permeability relations for layered reservoirs in radial flow. ~ flow in parallel - flow in series ~ Derivation of permeability relations for flow in fractures and channels.
