Specific type of Production Analysis (PA) workflow based on correlation between multi-well production/injection history and permanent downhole gauges (PDG) data records.

The key engine of MatBal is a pseudo-steady state correlation between cumulative offtakes/intakes and formation pressure

pressure convolution which is based on unit-rate transient responses retrieved from Production rates / PDG data history by means of pressure deconvolution.

It does not require new data acquisition at well site and makes use of existing dynamic data records.
