Brief

The general form of the Oil Material Balance equation was first published by Schilthuis in 1941[1].

Math & Physics

Equating all underground withdrawals to the sum of the volume changes[1]:

N_p B_o + N_p (R_p - R_s) B_g = N (B_o - B_{oi}) + N (R_{si} - R_s) B_g + m N B_{oi} (\frac{B_g}{B_{gi}} - 1) + (P_i - P_{res}) N (1 + m) B_{oi} \frac{c_w S_{wc} + c_f}{1 - S_{wc}}- (W_p B_w - W_i B_w - G_{gi} B_{ginj} - W_e B_w)

For use in the code to find Pres: 

Pres = Pi - (Np * Bo + Np * (Rp - Rs) * Bg + (Wp * Bw - Wi * Bw - Ggi * Bginj - We * Bw) - (N * (Bo - Boi) + N * (Rsi - Rs) * Bg + m * N * Boi * (Bg / Bgi - 1))) * (1 - Swc) / (N * (1 + m) * Boi * (cw * Swc + cf))

For use in the code to find Np: 

Np = (N * (Bo - Boi) + N * (Rsi - Rs) * Bg + m * N * Boi * (Bg / Bgi - 1) + N * (1 + m) * Boi * (Pi - Pres) * (cw * Swc + cf) / (1 - Swc) - (Wp * Bw - Wi * Bw - Gging * Bgi - We * Bw)) / (Bo + (Rp - Rs) * Bg)

Above the bubble point

N_p B_o = N B_{oi} (P_i - P_{res}) c_e - (W_p B_w - W_i B_w - W_e B_w)

where

c_e = \frac{c_o S_o + c_w S_{wc} + c_f}{1 - S_{wc}}


S_o = 1 - S_{wc}


c_o = \frac{1}{B_{oi}} \frac{B_o-B_{oi}}{Pi - Pres}

Discussion

... most powerful tool for investigating reservoirs and understanding their performance ...
— L.P. Dake [2]
... the safest technique in the business since it's minimum assumption route through the subject of reservoir engineering ...
— L.P. Dake [2]
