ut the estimation of this term would be impractical. Instead, we use arithmetic averages<br />

ROAVG = ROK + ROK-1<br />

RGAVG = RGK + RGK-1<br />

Once we have solved for ΔNOO<br />

"<br />

, we can solve for the total incremental oil and gas<br />

<strong>production</strong> for the time step as<br />

ΔNP " = ΔNOO<br />

"<br />

ΔGP " = ΔNOO<br />

"<br />

ROAVG<br />

RGAVG<br />

Substituting Equations 2.46 and 2.47 into Equations 2.41 and 2.42 yields<br />

AOK - AOK-1 + ΔNP " = 0 (2.48)<br />

AGK - AGK-1 + ΔGP " = 0 (2.49)<br />

Thus, the material balance errors for the oil and gas material balance equations may be<br />

expressed as<br />

ΔEO = AOK - AOK-1 + ΔNP "<br />

ΔEG = AGK - AGK-1 + ΔGP "<br />

The solution procedure for the generalized material balance method when the preferred<br />

phase is oil is as follows:<br />

1. Specify the constant oil rate, q O " , and the time step length, Δt.<br />

2. Determine the total incremental oil <strong>production</strong>, ΔNP " .<br />

ΔN P " = qO " Δt<br />
