Specific type of Production Analysis (PA) workflow based on correlation between single-well or multi-well production/injection history and Field and field-average formation pressure estimate
formation and It may also include BHP pressure data records if they are available and were varying over time.
In cae of multi-tank analysis
The key engine of MatBal is a pseudo-steady state correlation between cumulative offtakes/intakes and formation pressure dynamics .pressure convolution which is based on unit-rate transient responses retrieved from Production rates / PDG data history by means of pressure deconvolution(see MatBal Pressure @model).
It does not require new data acquisition at well site and makes use of existing dynamic data records.
