Brief

The P/Z plot is a plot of P/z versus cumulative gas production, Gp.

The interpretation technique is fitting the data points with the straight line to estimate GIIP.

The P/Z plot is based on the Gas Material Balance equation.

Math & Physics

Applying Real Gas EOS at reservoir conditions:

 PV_r=z\frac{m}{M} RT_r (1)

Applying Real Gas EOS at standard conditions:

 P_{SC}V_g=1\frac{m}{M} RT_{SC} (2)

Dividing eq. 2 by eq. 1 and rearranging:

 V_g=\frac{P}{z} \frac{V_rT_{SC}}{P_{SC}T_{r}}(3)

Applying eq. 3 for initial conditions and for any point in time:

 GIIP=\frac{P_i}{z_i} \frac{V_rT_{SC}}{P_{SC}T_{r}}

Applying eq. 3 for any point in time:

 GIIP-G_p=\frac{P}{z} \frac{V_rT_{SC}}{P_{SC}T_{r}}

Therefore at any time:

 \frac{G_p}{GIIP}=1-\frac{P}{z} \frac{z_i}{P_i}, or  \frac{P}{z}=\frac{P_i}{z_i} \left (1- \frac{G_p}{GIIP}\right )

Thus a plot of P/z vs cumulative produced gas is a straight line intersecting X axis at GIIP.

Discussion

Griffith correlation adds a hook to the originally straight Hagedorn and Brown VLP curve.
