1Reservoir simulation — is an area of reservoir engineering in which computer models are used to predict the flow of fluids (typically, oil, water, and gas) through porous media.UsesReservoir simulation models are used by oil and gas companies in the development of new… …
2Petroleum reservoir — A petroleum reservoir, or oil and gas reservoir, is a subsurface pool of hydrocarbons contained in porous or fractured rock formations. The naturally occurring hydrocarbons, such as crude oil or natural gas, are trapped by overlying rock… …
3Natural reservoir — is a natural storage of oil, gas and water, the shape of which is determined by the interrelation of reservoir rocks with low permeability rocks. This notion is largely similar to that of a field. A natural reservoir is specified by the type of… …
4natural gas — a combustible mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons that accumulates in porous sedimentary rocks, esp. those yielding petroleum, consisting usually of over 80 percent methane together with minor amounts of ethane, propane, butane, nitrogen, and,… …
