Creating a tank
Material Balance plugin allows you to create a tank by providing a fluid model, reservoir information, influx parameters and history data.
Diagnostics plots
You can visualize diagnostics plots such as Energy plot or Havlena-Odeh plot.
Havlena-Odeh plot
The Havlena and Odeh method interprets the material balance as an equation of a straight line. Depending on the type of reservoir this method can help determine original oil in place, original gas in place, initial free gas to oil volume ratio and aquifer constant.
Calibration (history matching)
The calibration process is intended to calibrate reservoir input parameters such as original oil in place, rock compressibility, or aquifer constant to match the measured reservoir pressure for each specified cumulative production point. To history match the measured reservoir pressures, the SDR-OMEGA optimization method of the Schlumberger Doll Research (SDR) optimizer is used.

Overview
Material balance is an analytical tool that allows a quick identification of reservoir drive mechanisms and hydrocarbon volumes based on production and static pressure data through graphical methods (like Energy plot, Havlena-Odeh, P/Z vs cumulative production). The plugin also comprises a calibration process of reservoir input parameters to match measured reservoir pressure (history matching).
Specifications
Material Balance plugin supports:
gas and oil reservoirs with or without water influx
single tanks
black oil fluid model
following aquifers: Fetkovich, Van Evedingen and Hurst linear and radial, Allard and Chen (bottom water influx
specified or calculated rock compressibility
history matching for water influx gas tanks, gas influx gas tanks, volumetric oil tanks and water influx oil tanks
all units
Features
Main features:
Focused on History matching workflows
Diagnostics: Energy plot, Havlena Odeh plots, P/Z versus cumulative production plot
Determination of Fluids in Place
Identification of drive mechanisms in the reservoir
Aquifer characterization
Validation of static models by Material Balance calculations
