Gas to Oil Ratio (GOR)

Gas to Oil Ratio (GOR) measures the amount of natural gas produced relative to the amount of crude oil, typically expressed as cubic feet of gas per barrel of oil. It helps evaluate a well’s productivity and the characteristics of the reservoir. A high GOR indicates more gas compared to oil, which might suggest a gas-rich reservoir or that the well is nearing depletion of oil. Conversely, a low GOR signifies less gas in relation to oil. Monitoring GOR is essential for managing production, optimizing recovery, and planning facilities since the presence of gas can influence equipment, handling, and economics.
