Applied Material Balance (MBal) Model Answer

Material balance works for black oil, gas condensate, and volatile oil reservoirs. Relative permeability matching in MBAL requires pre-running the graphical method. The initial hydrocarbon in place estimate used in MBAL comes from well log analysis. Parts of the material balance equation include oil production, water production, gas injection, and all of the above. The first step of history matching in MBAL is the analytical method. A reservoir connected through a fault in MBAL is modeled with two tanks with transmissibility in between. The history matched STOIP in MBAL is called the dynamic STOIP. MBAL can be used to model reservoirs, wells, pipelines, and separators in a full network model. The best tool to quickly model
