HCPV

Brief

HCPV stands for hydrocarbon pore volume. Equals to the volume of reservoir hydrocarbons at the downhole conditions.

Equation

$HCPV = A * h * \phi * S_o$

where

$A$ = Area, m2

$h$ = Net pay, oil saturated thickness, m

$HCPV$ = Hydrocarbon pore volume, m3

$\phi$ = Porosity, fraction

$S_o$ = Oil saturation, fraction
