Modelling facility for field-average formation pressure  and Bottom-Hole Pressure ( for producers and  for injectors) at any time moment  as response to production flowrates history:


 A_e \, h_e \int_{p_i}^p \phi_e(p) \, c_t(p) \, dp  = \Delta Q (t) =  Q^{\downarrow}_t(t) - Q^{\uparrow}_t(t) + V^{\downarrow}_{GC}(t) + V^{\downarrow}_{AQ}(t)



p^{\uparrow}_{wf, k}(t) = p(t) - {J^{\uparrow}_k}^{-1} \cdot \frac{dQ^{\uparrow}_k}{dt}



p^{\downarrow}_{wf, k}(t) = p(t) -  {J^{\downarrow}_i}^{-1} \cdot \frac{dQ^{\downarrow}_k}{dt}


where

drainage area

effective formation thickness averaged over drainage area

initial formation pressure

full-field cumulative reservoir fluid balance

cumulative offtakes from -th producer by the time moment

cumulative intakes to -th injector by the time moment

field-average BHP in producers

full-field cumulative offtakes by the time moment

field-average BHP in injectors

full-field cumulative intakes by the time moment

full-field cumulative volumetric inflow from gas cap expansion

full-field cumulative volumetric inflow from aquifer expansion


In some specific cases equation  can be explicitly integrated:

Low compressibility rocks and fluids

Ideal dry gas


p(t)  = p_i + \frac{\Delta Q(t)}{V_e \cdot c_t}



p(t)  = p_i \exp \left[ \frac{\Delta Q(t)}{V_e \cdot c_t} \right]


where

drainage volume
