MatBal® 2010 Software
Weatherford’s MatBal product allows the analysis, evaluation, and prediction of the response of hydrocarbon reservoir systems using fundamental material balance principles. The ease with which material balance principles can be applied results in an efficient and cost-effective alternative to more complex and expensive simulation techniques.
What is new for version 2010?
- Campbell, modified Cole, and drive indices plots
- Improved graphical user Interface
What other products does this application link to?
This application links to Weatherford’s WellFlo® well analysis and Reo Forecast™ production forecasting and field planning programs.
How does this tool help improve job performance?
| Engineers |
- Production engineers can:
- Estimate the volume of fluids initially present in the reservoir
- Estimate the type and size of the aquifer
- Examine the effects of changes resulting from produced and injected fluids
- Reservoir engineers can perform each stage of a material balance study quickly and efficiently including:
- Building an appropriate material balance model
- Matching to historical data
- Generating production forecasts
