The determination of reservoir pressure from liquid level data, Imray and Pilot bores, Lakes Entrance

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 19/11/2025

The pressure of the liquid, or reservoir pressure, within the glauconitic sandstone at Lakes Entrance has been the subject of conjecture in recent years and the low yields of oil which typify the field have been attributed by some observers to low reservoir pressure. Reservoir pressure, however, is only one of a number of factors upon which the rate of yield depends. Other factors of equal importance are the permeability of the producing formations and viscosity of the fluids produced. The methods, tests, and results involved with the determination of reservoir pressure from liquid level data are discussed in this report.
