Gas Material Balance Equation
The gas material balance data is based on actual production data and is typically presented as a P/z plot. The material balance equation is a simple expression of the conservation of mass in a reservoir.
Eq. 1
P / z = ( Pi / zi ) - [ ( Psc T ) / ( Tsc V ) ] Gp
Where:
( Pi/zi ) = Ratio of Pressure to Compressibility Factor at Initial
Conditions (psi)
Psc = Pressure at Standard Conditions (psi)
Tsc = Temperature at Standard Conditions (°R)
T = Current Temperature (°R)
V
=
Original Gas Volume (ft3)
Gp = Cumulative Gas Production (SCF)
P/z = Ratio of
Pressure to Compressibility Factor at Current Conditions for P/z vs Gp plot
(psi)
mD = Millidarcy
MSCF/d = Thousand standard cubic feet per day
Standard
conditions are normally set at 60 degF and 14.7
