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
Well's STOIIP and JD

Oil Flowing Material Balance uses readily available Well flowing data: production rate, wellhead pressures and the fluid levels.

The interpretation technique is fitting the data points with the straight lines to estimate STOIIP and JD.

Oil Flowing Material Balance in the E&P Portal

Math & Physics

The total pressure drop at the wellbore is:

\Delta P =P_i - P_{wf} = (P_i - \bar{P}) + (\bar{P}-P_{wf})

^[1]

Where

P_i - \bar{P}

, is pressure drop due to depletion defined by the Oil Material Balance

\bar{P}-P_{wf}

, is pressure drop due to Darcy's law

In terms of oil pseudo pressure the total pressure drop is:

\Delta P_{po}=P_{po}(P_i)-P_{po}(P_{wf}) = (P_{po}(P_i) - P_{po}(\bar{P})) + (P_{po}(\bar{P})-P_{po}(P_{wf}))

^[2]

Where

P_{po}(P) = B_o(P_i) \mu_o(P_i) \int\limits_{P_{ref}}^{P} \frac{1}{B_o(P) \mu_o(P)}dp

^[2]

P_{po}(\bar{P})-P_{po}(P_{wf}) = q_o \frac{141.2 B_o(P) \mu_o(P)}{k_oh\ J_D}

Finally, the Oil Flowing Material Balance equation:

\frac{141.2 B_o(P) \mu_o(P)}{k_oh} \frac{q_o}{\Delta P_{po}}= J_D -\frac{P_{po}(P_i) - P_{po}(\bar{P})}{\Delta P_{po}}N\ \frac{J_D}{N}

Or

{J_D}_{norm} = J_D -{N_p}_{norm} \frac{J_D}{N}

Where

{J_D}_{norm} = \frac{141.2 B_o(P) \mu_o(P)}{k_oh} \frac{q_o}{\Delta P_{po}}

{N_p}_{norm} = \frac{P_{po}(P_i) - P_{po}(\bar{P})}{\Delta P_{po}}N

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:

Well cumulative
Reservoir cumulative

Note what Oil Flowing Material Balance accounts for the changing PVT properties of the oil with pressure.

Case Study

This Case Study demonstrates the application of the Oil Flowing Material Balance engineering technique using the E&P Portal.

The Study is based on the oil well from a field in West Siberia, Russia.

It is shown how to:

Input the data to the E&P Portal;
Apply the Oil FMB to estimate the well's STOIIP and JD;
Save and export the analysis results.

All the input data is attached to the Case Study for the reference.
