"Accounting" Concept of Material Balance:Require all inflows/outflows/generations. (Average) reservoir pressure profile is REQUIRED.Require rock, fluid, and rock-fluid properties (at some scale).
Oil Material Balance:Less common than gas material balance (pressure required).
Gas Material Balance:Volumetric dry gas reservoir (p/z versus Gp (straight-line)).Abnormally-pressured gas reservoirs (various techniques).Waterdrive/water influx cases (always problematic) (i.e., we don't
know the influx, so we use a model).Material Balance yields RESERVOIR VOLUME!

General Concept of Material Balance...
From: Petroleum Reservoir Engineering —Amyx, Bass, and Whiting (1960).
a. Initial reservoir conditions. b. Conditions after producing Np STB of oil, and GpSCF of gas, and Wp STB of water.
Material Balance: Key Issues Must have accurate production measurements (oil, water, gas). Estimates of average reservoir pressure (from pressure tests). Suites of PVT data (oil, gas, water). Reservoir properties: saturations, formation compressibility, etc.

Average Reservoir Pressure
From: Engineering Features of the Schuler Field and Unit Operation — Kaveler (SPE-AIME, 1944).
Average Reservoir Pressure: Key Issues Must "average" pressures over volume or area (approximation). Pressure tests must be representative (pavg extrapolation valid). Can average using cumulative production (surrogate for volume).

Black Oil Material Balance Case: (Example) Note that all fluid functions are given: Np, Wp, and GOR (for Gp). Average reservoir pressure is presumed correct. Authors cite "partial waterdrive" — remains a contentious issue.

"Dry Gas" Material Balance: Normally Pressured Reservoir Example Volumetric reservoir — no external energy (gas expansion only). p/z versus Gp yields unique straight-line trend. Linear extrapolation yield gas-in-place (G).

"Dry Gas" Material Balance: Abnormally Pressured Reservoir Example Volumetric reservoir — no water influx or leakage. p/z versus Gp yields unique quadratic trend (from approximated MBE). Quadratic extrapolation yield gas-in-place (G).

a. Gas Material Balance Plot: p/z vs. Gp — simulated performance. Note effect of aquifer permeability on field performance.
b. Gas Material Balance Plot: p/z vs. Gp — simulated performance. Note effect of displacement efficiency (Ep).
Gas Material Balance: Water Drive Gas Reservoir Pressure (hence p/z) is maintained during production via communication with an unsteady-
state aquifer (this study). Unsteady-State Performance of Water Drive Gas Reservoirs, Agarwal (Texas A&M Ph.D., 1967).
