Introduction
The gravity-drainage mechanism is one of the most efficient ways of producing an oil field. Unfortunately, most
bil fields cannot be produced economically under freefall gravity alone because the effective oil permeability is
too low, the oil viscosity is too high, or the dip of the
formation is too small. Nevertheless, many reservoirs
take advantage of the gravity component, especially
under pressure maintenance in areas where gas is available, such as overseas, or where inert gas can be used.
The most ideal system would be one where oil is produced only under free-fall gravity drainage, giving the
highest possible recovery at the most efficient rate, However, because a producing mechanism must be justifkxl
economically as opposed to another producing mechanism, an engineer must calculate gravity-drainage recovery as a function of time.
An approximate theory of strict gravity drainage has
been presented by Cardwell and Parsons,l They ignored
capillary pressure terms and show how gravity-drainage
equations can be solved. They give only one comparison
of recovery calculated from theory with recovery obtained experimentally from a draining column.
In addition to that study, many other papem have been
published describing how to calculate reservoir performance where gravity effects influence the production
mechanism. An early investigation describing the potentially high recovery with gravity drainage is Katz
discussion of Oklahoma City Wilcox sand, Katz also

Leverett equation. The authors derived and used a simplified equation to describe the advance of a saturation
front.
A study by Terwilliger et al.zs presented laboratory
data on recovery vs rate of prod~ction and saturation
distributions as a function of both rate and time for an
unconsolidated sand column. Experimental data were
compared with calculated data obtained using the
Buckley-Leverett method. All experiments were conducted at constant rates and none were made under freefall gravity drainage. Their results showed the high recoveries that could be obtained where gravity was an
important part of production. Recoveries of about 70
percent were obtained at low rates fmm a 13-ft column
and calculated recoveries of about 80 percent wew obtained from a 1,000-ft column. The difference resulted
mainly from the difference in percent of capillary rise
between the two columns,
Only Cardwell and Parsonsl presented a theory for
determining oil recoveries from a porous medium under
strict, or free-fall, gravity drainage; that is, the produ~
tion rate was determined solely by gravity effects, Surprisingly, no application of this method has been described in the literature since then. In this study, I show
seven comparisons of recovery calculated from Cardwell
and Parsons theory with recovery determined cxperimentally. The equations were made more general to
account for an immobile gas saturation at the start of
gravity drainage and for relative permeability of oil decreasing to zero at residual oil saturation rather than at
zero oil saturation, The recovery equation not given in
Cardwell and Parsons paper also is derived here.
Three examples show how this method can be used to
calculate gravity-drainage recovery and rates for an oil
field. The experimental data is not satisfactory, so I also
have suggested where additional research is needed to
substantiate the theory and its application further.

Recovery Equation
The recovery equation can be derived as foliows. At a
dminage time, t, the demarcator has reached a ievel Zfj.
given by the integration of Eq. 21. Above this level, the
saturation distribution is given by Eq. 19. A schematic
diagram of the distribution is shown in Fig. 1. In this
diagram, SOcan be considered a iiquid saturation in a
two-phase, iiquid-gas system or an oii saturation based
on hydrocarbon pore volume in a &&phase, wateroil-gas system. The recovery, R, is given by

Eq. 21 and of 24canbe solved using anelectronicdesk

todays computer programs are problem oriented and
require only a modest amount of programming ability.n * Because of the many calculations required to
check the experimental datq described in the next section,
I used IBMs CSMP system (System/360 Continuous

Drainage Modulus
Examination of Figs, 3, 4, and 5, where recovery is
plotted vs log time, shows that the calculated curves
parallel each other and that a shift along the time scale
will cause the curves to overlay. This suggesfs the possibility of combining rock and fluid properties so that one
recovery curve resulfs.
Consider a rectangular, dipping formation (Fig. 6) in
which oil is dmining down the structure into a well.
According to Elkins et al. ,s the rate at which oil drains
down the structure undf:rfree-fall gravity is given by

The constriction coefficient, C, was not in the original

Application to a Reservoir
Threeexamples show how this method may be applied.
The ft example is of a field that was produced under
controlled production, then produced competitively, and
was again under controlled production, The field was
discovered by a well completed in the gas cap. Gas was
produced until 2 years later, when the oil zone was
discovemi, after which gas-cap production essentially
was stopped and energy conserved by producing oil only
from the oil band. Later, during a period of competitive
operation, gas-cap gas was produced, after which gas
production was again controlled. By this time pressure
had decreased more than 1,000 psi below the original
bubble-point pressure, with the result that excess gas was
produced fmm wells completed far below the original
gas-oil contact.

Summary
Thisstudy broadened the application of Cardwell and
Pamonsmethod of predicting oil recovery under free-fall
gravity drainage and presented three examples of how to
apply the method. The theory was tested against experimental data and was shown to be good, even though
drawbacks existed in experimental data. Several research
ideas weresuggested to overcome these drawbacks and to
verify the assumptions.
Nomenclature
