The STOIIP

can be written as:

LaTeX Math Block

alignmentleft
V_O = V_o/B_o = s_o \, V_\phi = (1-s_{wi}) \, V_\phi

so that

V_\phi = \frac{B_o \, Q_O}{(1-s_{wi})} 


The pore volume reduction due to offtakes is:

LaTeX Math Block

\delta V_\phi = Q_O \, B_o

thus leading to

c_t = \frac{1}{V_{\phi}} \frac{\partial V_{\phi}}{\partial p} = 

\frac{1-s_{wi}}{B_o \, V_O} \frac{B_o \, Q_O}{\delta p} =\frac{1-s_{wi}}{\delta p} \frac{Q_O}{V_O} = \frac{1-s_{wi}}{\delta p} \cdot {\rm EUR_O}

where

c_t  = c_r + s_{wi} c_w + (1-s_{wi})c_o

is total compressibility of oil saturated formation and

pressure reduction due to pore volume reduction caused by offtakes.

For low compressible oil, the total compressibility can be assumed constant

becomes:

\frac{1-s_{wi}}{\delta p(p_i - p_{wf \, min})} \cdot {\rm EUR_O} = c_t \, (p_i - p_{wf \, min})= \rm const

{\rm EUR}_{\rm NDR} =  \frac{Q_o}{V_o}O =  \frac{ (p_i - p_{wf \, min}) \, c_t}{(1-s_{wi})\, B_o}




For the naturally flowing wells the bottom hole pressure under flowing conditions can be roughly assed by homogeneous multiphase pipe flow model assessed as:
