The oil producing country needs a real view of its oil reserves and the forecasts of production, to cover its annual expenditures. The most influence is on their market value which mostly depends on their reserves. Oil companies can build better investment portfolios or divest in particular fields. Finally, the investors and global bankers seek to use better data for comparing investment opport...

In the petroleum industry, measurements of the density and viscosity of petroleum reservoir fluids are required to determine the value of the produced fluid and the production strategy. Measurements of the density and viscosity of petroleum fluids require a transducer that can operate at reservoir conditions, and results with an uncertainty of about ±1% in density and ±10% in viscosity are need...

In 1859, Edwin Drake drilled one of the world’s first commercial oil wells south of Titusville, PA, which produced 25 barrels of petroleum (then called rock oil) on its first day from a geological reservoir located 69 ft below the surface. At the time, people were beginning to recognize the value of petroleum, mostly for its ability to lubricate and illuminate. So, in a sense Drake’s gusher hel...

This paper was conducted to delimit the water influx in Hamzeh oil reservoir, located northeastern Jordan approximately 150 km east of Amman. Petroleum reservoirs are frequently encompassed by aquifers that back up reservoir pressure through inflow. When declines a petroleum aquifer responds providing an water. Gradually, damage is reduced and then eliminated, more produced from reservoir. The ...
