Useful tips for reading your professional papers/articles Use your relevant professional knowledge and common sense to help you understand each paragraph; If your understanding conflict with relevant professional knowledge, either you or the article is wrong, check it again. Understanding each sentence and paragraph precisely, but express them flexibly in good professional Chinese. Teaching method for each text Review some relevant professional knowledge. Text reading, explanation and understanding. Related discussions. Summary the text with 80 – 100 words. Main Points Fluid Content of the Reservoir Definition and Causes of Wettability Wettability Influence on Multiphase Flow Effects of Saturation States on Permeability Reservoir Heterogeneity Types of Reservoir Heterogeneity Gas and Condensate Reservoirs Fluid Content of the Reservoir Although the structural traps in which oil accumulates exist in various forms, the oil usually occurs in association with gas and salt water. However, some interstitial water is always present in the oil zone. Where a considerable volume of water underlines the oil in the same sedimentary bed it is referred as the “aquifer” and being under pressure also, it contributes to the total energy of the reservoir. Fluid Content of the Reservoir The oil itself, when under pressure, contains appreciable quantity of dissolved gas. The actual amount of gas will be governed by the pressure and temperature inside the reservoir, and the oil is said to be “saturated” if it cannot dissolve more gas under these particular pressure and temperature conditions. On the other hand, the oil is said to be “unsaturated” if it could dissolve more gas at the same pressure and temperature. Fluid Content of the Reservoir In many cases there can be more gas in the reservoir than the oil is capable of holding in solution. This extra gas being lighter than the oil will have formed a “gas cap” above the oil accumulation. If the pressure of a saturated oil reservoi
