Alternative
method for
deriving MB eqn.
According to Dake,
Underground withdrawal =
expansion of the system +
cumulative water influx.
Reservoir volume at pressure P
of the produced fluids
= expansion of primary gas cap
+ expansion of oil plus originally
dissolved gas
+ expansion of connate water
+ water influx
+reduction of total pore volume
Assumptions in MB Equation
Pressure
the MB equation is tank model. Pressure constant throughout the reservoir at
any time. An average pressure has to be selected to be represent fluid
properties.
Temperature
Changes in a reservoir take place at constant temperature, isothermal.
Production rate
Time has no part within MBE.

Unknowns
Once production starts MB provides useful route to
upgrade STOIIP estimate, N.
MB provides opportunity to determine water drive,
We.
Size of gas cap if not drilled may be difficult to
determine.
Important to determine rock & water compressibility.
MB zero dimensional. Requires average pressure.
Can be obtained from range of pressures from wells
in drainage area.
