The key engine of MatBal is a pseudo-steady state correlation between cumulative offtakes/intakes and formation pressure dynamics. (see MatBal Pressure @model ).
It does not require new data acquisition at well site and makes use of existing dynamic data records.
There are two major engines of MatBal:
| MatBal Pressure @model | MatBal Flow @model |
| Formation pressure model only | Pressure and flowrate model |
Objectives
...
| Check if the field is under volume-constrained production (PSS) |
| Assess drainage volume |
| Assess reservoir compressibility |
| Check if water and gas propagation match uniform sweep model |
| Verify oil/gas FVF |
