2. List of reservoirs by volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reservoirs_by_volume

   The following terms are used in connection with the volume of reservoirs: Nominal volume Capacity The total volume of all water held behind a dam at the maximum level possible. Initial volume Design volume The possible volume within the reservoir after it first opens. Many rivers are high in silt that over time deposits behind a dam reducing ...

3. Petroleum reservoir - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_reservoir

   A petroleum reservoir or oil and gas reservoir is a subsurface accumulation of hydrocarbons contained in porous or fractured rock formations. Such reservoirs form when kerogen (ancient plant matter) is created in surrounding rock by the presence of high heat and pressure in the Earth's crust .

4. Volume (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_(thermodynamics)

   Therefore, gas volume may alternatively be expressed excluding the humidity content: V d (volume dry). This fraction more accurately follows the ideal gas law. On the contrary, V s (volume saturated) is the volume a gas mixture would have if humidity was added to it until saturation (or 100% relative humidity).

5. Oil in place - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_in_place

   Lastly the volume at reservoir conditions (high pressures and temperatures) is converted to the associated volume at surface conditions. [3] Oil in place must not be confused with oil reserves, that are the technically and economically recoverable portion of oil volume in the reservoir. Current recovery factors for oil fields around the world ...

6. Oil and gas reserves and resource quantification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_and_gas_reserves_and...

   The materials balance method for an oil or gas field uses an equation that relates the volume of oil, water and gas that has been produced from a reservoir and the change in reservoir pressure to calculate the remaining oil & gas. It assumes that, as fluids from the reservoir are produced, there will be a change in the reservoir pressure that ...

7. Unconventional (oil and gas) reservoir - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_(oil_and...

   Schematic unconventional reservoir classification expressed as fluid energy vs flow potential based on initials without stimulation. Unconventional (oil and gas) reservoirs, or unconventional resources (resource plays) are accumulations where oil and gas phases are tightly bound to the rock fabric by strong capillary forces, requiring specialized measures for evaluation and extraction.
