Comparison of gas initial in place calculation using MBAL and Artificial Intelligence methods

Abstract

Oil and gas industry are an industry with a high cost and high risk, artificial intelligence will help the work of humans to minimize the risk of accidents, reduce processing time and improve corporate profits. So, the work becomes more efficient. The aims of the study give information that the artificial intelligence help the work to evaluate the initial gas in place on reservoir and comparison the results between software and manual Material Balance (MBAL). Additional research is needed to know the type of reservoir and drive mechanism. The method used is the research on reservoir RGN, the data used are based on real data in field. This research uses artificial intelligence MBAL software and calculation with manual MBAL. Based on the analysis, the result of reservoir type dry gas reservoir with drive mechanism is depletion drive. Calculation initial gas in place using artificial intelligence MBAL software, get the initial gas in place result of 50661,3MMscf. And calculation using manual MBAL, get the initial gas in place result of 50063,59MMscf. There is a difference in the results of the initial gas content in place of 597.4 MMscf. Based on the analysis, there are differences in the results between using artificial intelligence and manual MBAL.
