DARCY’S LAW applied to the OIL RESERVOIR

In this episode, we break down the equation known as Darcy’s Law, and how it applies to the inflow of fluids down-hole in a reservoir. The equation itself describes the flow of a fluid through a porous medium, helping us understand how different fluid viscosities, and the porous rock formation of the reservoir affect production. Ultimately, understanding Darcy’s Law helps us understand why it’s impossible to produce evenly across a heterogeneous reservoir, and why the fluids of water and gas are produced at a higher rate than oil.
