    This document discusses methods for estimating average reservoir pressure from pressure build-up test data, including the MBH (Mathews-Bronz-Hazebroek) method, Dietz method, and Ramey-Cobb method. The MBH method uses a Horner plot to determine the dimensionless pressure and calculate average reservoir pressure. The Dietz method uses an MDH plot and Dietz shut-in time. The Ramey-Cobb method also uses a Horner plot and calculates a time ratio to determine average reservoir pressure. Examples are provided to demonstrate applications of the MBH and Dietz methods.

    CHAPTER 7
    AVERAGE RESERVOIR
    PRESSURE
    Average reservoir pressure is defined as the pressure that could
    be reached when all producing wells are shut-in for an infinite
    time.
    • If the pressure drop (Pavg-Pwf) is small per unit time of
    production, this would give an indication to the existence of
    water drive or a drainage from very big drainage area.
    • If the pressure drop (Pavg-Pwf) is big per unit time of
    production, this would give an indication for small drainage
    area or a depletion drive reservoir where the pressure is less
    than the bubble point pressure.
    • Average reservoir pressure is always less than P* determined
    from the Horner plot by extrapolating the infinite acting line
    to Horner time equals to (1.0)
    • There are several techniques to estimate average reservoir
    pressure from pressure build-up test.
    MBH (Mathews-Bronz-Hazebroek)
    method
    This method is used to estimate average reservoir pressure of
    closed (bounded) reservoirs. It uses Horner plot. The following
    are the producers of the MBH method:
    1- Calculate production time:
    𝑵𝑷
    𝒕𝑷 = 𝟐𝟒
    𝒒
    2- Obtain 𝒕𝑫𝑨 𝒑𝒔𝒔 from the shape factor tables for (col.”Exact
    for 𝒕𝑫𝑨 > ").
    3-Calculate the starting time of pseudo-steady state flow:
    ∅𝝁𝒄𝒕 𝑨
    𝒕𝒑𝒔𝒔 = 𝒕𝑫𝑨 𝒑𝒔𝒔
    𝟎.𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟐𝟔𝟑𝟕𝒌
    4-Prepare Horner plot. If 𝒕𝑷 > 𝟐𝒕𝒑𝒔𝒔 use 𝒕𝒑𝒔𝒔 instead of 𝒕𝑷 ,
    otherwise use 𝒕𝑷
    5- Calculate dimensionless production time:
    𝟎. 𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟐𝟔𝟑𝟕 𝒌𝒕𝑷
    𝒕𝑷𝑫𝑨 =
    ∅𝝁𝒄𝒕 𝑨
    6- Find the MBH dimensionless pressure 𝑷𝑫𝑴𝑩𝑯 using one of
    suitable figures.
    7-Calculate average reservoir pressure:
    ∗
    𝒎
    𝑷=𝑷 − 𝑷𝑫𝑴𝑩𝑯
    𝟐. 𝟑𝟎𝟐𝟓
    8- If there a constant pressure square reservoir (water drive),
    the two average reservoir pressures are calculated by:
    ∗
    𝒎
    𝑷=𝑷 − 𝑷𝑫𝑴𝑩𝑯
    𝟐. 𝟑𝟎𝟐𝟓
    ∗
    𝒎
    𝑷𝒆 = 𝑷 − 𝑷𝑫𝑴𝑩𝑯𝒆
    𝟐. 𝟑𝟎𝟐𝟓
    where 𝑷𝑫𝑴𝑩𝑯 and 𝑷𝑫𝑴𝑩𝑯𝒆 can be determined either
    graphically or analytically using the following models:
    𝟎. 𝟑𝟗𝟒𝟏𝟔𝟐
    𝑷𝑫𝑴𝑩𝑯 = 𝒆𝒙𝒑 𝟏. 𝟒𝟔𝟒𝟏𝟕 + 𝟎. 𝟏𝟑𝟑𝟓𝟎𝟑𝒍𝒏 𝒕𝑷𝑫𝑨 −
