Gas Flowing Material Balance

Brief

Gas Flowing Material Balance is the advanced engineering technique to determine the Reservoirs GIIP and recovery as well as Well's EUR and JD.

Gas Flowing Material Balance is applied on the Well level given readily available well flowing data: production rate and tubing head pressure.

Math & Physics

Combining the gas pseudo state flow equation and the Gas Material Balance equation:

$P_{\bar{P}}= P_{P_{wf}} + q_g b_{pss}$

where

$b_{pss} = \frac{1422 \times 10^3\ T_R}{kh\ J_D}$

Material balance pseudo-time:

$t_{ca} = \frac{\mu_{gi} c_{gi}}{q_g}\int\limits_{0}^{t}\frac{q_g}{\bar{\mu_g} \bar{c_g}}dt$
