MBAL has other tools besides material balance that can help you make quick analysis on different topics related to reservoir engineering.
The list of tutorials in this section contains lessons on how to use different MBAL tools such as 1-D model, reservoir allocation, Monte Carlo, etc.
Decline Curve Analysis for Oil Wells – MBAL
The MBAL decline analysis tool is used in this tutorial to demonstrate how to obtain decline parameters from production data using MBAL. A forecast is then run using the decline parameters obtained.
Decline Curve Analysis for Oil Wells and Type Wells – MBAL
Using decline curve analysis, 3 wells with different behavior are history matched. Then, forecasts are made to evaluate future production rates, and finally predictions are run including more wells using the Type Well concept.
The 1-D Model Tool is used to determine injected pore volumes, the oil recovery factor at different times of the prediction, and the cumulative oil production and water cut.
The 1-D Model Tool is used to determine injected poral volumes, the oil recovery factor at different times of the prediction, and the cumulative oil production and water cut. The results of this heavy oil tutorial are compared to the previous one.
A multi-layer reservoir consisting of three layers is modeled using the following methods: Bukley-Leverett, Communicating and Simple. The results of the simulation of the models are compared. Also, the Fw matching is performed for each model.
Convert a multi-layer model into a 1-D model – MBAL
The tutorial starts from a multi-layer model. Using the Buckley-Leverett method, the pseudo relative permeability curves are matched. Then, the 1-D model is constructed using equivalent reservoir properties, and the calibrated curves are transferred.
Determine the Original Gas in Place with Monte Carlo – MBAL
Using the Monte Carlo tool in MBAL, the GIIP for a reservoir is statistically estimated by variation of its parameters (Area, Thickness, Porosity, Saturations, etc). Finally, the distribution of the desired variables is obtained.
Determine the Reservoir Allocation of the Layers of a Gas Reservoir – MBAL
For reservoirs where allocation factors can be unknown, this tool can help the user calculate them if the IPR curves are available. Allocation factors and even crossflow can be estimated using this technique.
