Recovery Factor Calculator

Compute the recovery factor as cumulative produced volume divided by original oil in place.

Description

Compute the recovery factor as cumulative produced volume divided by original oil in place.

Recovery Factor Calculator: Compute the recovery factor as cumulative produced volume divided by original oil in place.

When to use Recovery Factor

Use this geological calculation for a transparent first-pass interpretation of measured rock, soil, fluid, well, stratigraphic, isotopic, geophysical, or seismic data under an explicitly selected model.

Produced volume (m3)
Cumulative produced volume at stock-tank conditions.
OOIP (m3)
Original oil in place at stock-tank conditions.

How Recovery Factor works

Compute the recovery factor as cumulative produced volume divided by original oil in place. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Recovery factor
Recovery factor as a fraction of oil in place.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Petroleum correlations are fluid-, pressure-, temperature-, and region-dependent. PVT sampling, phase behavior, relative permeability, capillary pressure, heterogeneity, aquifer support, well constraints, history match, and units affect forecasts and reserves.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Compare independent measurements and models, retain units and analytical metadata, propagate uncertainty, and validate interpretations against logs, cores, maps, laboratory data, or field observations.
