What is gas oil ratio?

Gas oil ratio (GOR) is a measurement used in the oil and gas industry to express the relationship between the volume of gas and the volume of oil produced from a reservoir. It is typically calculated in standard cubic feet of gas per barrel of oil (scf/bbl). A higher GOR indicates a greater amount of gas relative to oil, which can influence production strategies and economic viability. Understanding GOR is crucial for reservoir management and optimizing extraction processes.
