ObjectiveTo present a new technique that can beused to :
Calculate gas-in-place for an abnor-mally pressured gas reservoir using only average reservoir pressure and cumulative production data.
Calculate pore volume compressibi-lity as a function of reservoir pressure.

Introduction
Reasons for the non-linear p/z behavior:
Rock and water compressibility effects — "rock collapse theory" (Hawkins, 1969)
Shale water influx (Bourgoyne, 1989)

Methods which do not require a prior knowledge of system compressibility
Roach - 1981 - very sensitive to initial pressure.- method sometimes doesn’t exhibit a negative intercept (which is not possible).
Bernard - 1985 - using Least Squares approach. - very sensitive to data scatter.
Ambastha - 1991: Type Curve Approach - non-uniqueness problems.

Conclusions We have developed a straightforward approach for analyzing p/z versus Gp
behavior for abnormally pressured gas reservoirs — the approach considers that two straight-lines must be ob- served on the p/z plot.
The proposed method determines gas-in-place without using system compressibility data. Only p, Gp, and fluid property data are required.

Conclusions (continued)
Our approach of using ce(pi-p) versus (p/z)/(pi /zi) and (p/z)/(pi /zi) versus Gp/G as dynamic type curve matching func- tions has been shown to work extreme- ly well. Using our new method, it is possible to calculate rock compressibility as a func- tion of pressure from p and Gp data

Conclusions (continued)
The "dynamic type curve matching technique" used for calculating gas-in-place from production data is more representative (and more stable) than the non-linear optimization method provided by SOLVER.
