Brief
Oil Flowing Material Balance (Oil FMB) is the advanced engineering technique published in 2005 by Louis Mattar and David Anderson [1].
Oil Flowing Material Balance is applied to determine:
- Reservoirs STOIIP & EUR
- Well's EUR and JD
Oil Flowing Material Balance uses readily available Well flowing data: production rate and bottomhole pressure.
The interpretation technique is fitting the data points with the straight lines to estimate STOIIP and JD.
Math & Physics
The total pressure drop at the wellbore is:
Where
, is pressure drop due to depletion defined by the Oil Material Balance
, is pressure drop due to Darcy's law
In terms of oil pseudo pressure the total pressure drop is:
Where
Finally, the Oil Flowing Material Balance equation:
Or
Where
Discussion
Oil Flowing Material Balance can be applied to:
- single well
- multiple wells producing from the same Reservoir.
The X axis on the Oil Flowing Material Balance Plot can be selected as:
Note what Oil Flowing Material Balance accounts for the changing PVT properties of the oil with pressure.
Workflow
- Upload the data required
- Open the Oil Flowing Material Balance tool here
- Estimate the N (red line X-axis intercept)
- Calculate the average reservoir pressure
based on N, known production data and using Oil Material Balance equation - Calculate the
- Calculate the
- Plot the orange vs line:
- Change the N to match the orange line with the red one
- Change the gray JD line Y-axis intercept to match the changing JD
- Save the Oil Flowing Material Balance model
- Move to the next well
