Material Balance for Fractured Reservoir

[zaheer.jamali]

Is there any material Balance method to estimate in place for fractured Oil/Gas Reservoir

or if u have any information regarding this please share

Pure material balance really has nothing to do with the geology, rather pressure, volumes extracted and compressibilities of the various fluids. The challenge that is probably more relevant is determining the average reservoir pressure at any one point - depending on how permeable the matrix porosity is, it may be difficult to get a handle on this.

you can use the material balance software,such as resbalance

You can you the material balance for fracture reservoir as usual. as i know, some fracture reservoir still use it such as Vietnam.

Good job!

[vinomarky]

Yes, and with the King Z* correction, you can even apply it to coal seam fields

there are material balance for the natural fracture reservoir, the change or the factor that include this balance are the comprensibility in the matrix and the fracture.

the fracture compresibility depent of the stress net fracture, and the mineralizacion of the fracture.

the best way to get it variable is about the core, but it not have, can be use correlation.

you can read this paper:
