Glossary:Gas-oil ratio

PetroWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The number of standard cubic feet of gas contained in a barrel of oil.


When oil is produced to surface temperature and pressure it is usual for some natural gas to come out of solution. The gas/oil ratio (GOR) is the ratio of the volume of gas ("scf") that comes out of solution to the volume of oil — at standard conditions. The GOR is a dimensionless ratio (volume per volume) in metric units, but in field units, it is usually measured in cubic feet of gas per barrel of oil or condensate.[1]
