Abstract
Flowing water beneath an oil accumulation causes the oil-water contact (OWC) tilted. Obviously, for a given trapping structure, the boundary and volume of oil accumulation for a tilted OWC are different from those of a horizontal one. Previous work has defined the tilting angle of an OWC, but the equation defining a tilted OWC surface is lacking.
