Average reservoir pressure

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000225

The representative pressure of the reservoir at a given time, reflecting the overall energy state of the hydrocarbon accumulation. It is typically estimated from long-duration pressure buildup tests or by material balance calculations. This pressure is a key parameter for reservoir engineering calculations, including reserves estimation and production forecasting.
