Although
approximations, they do not help us analyze different
reservoir conditions in which a CSG reservoir may be found
or can undergo throughout its productive life. Therefore,
based on a generalized material balance equation for
conventional reservoirs,2 a GMBE for CSG reservoirs was
developed.

A GENERALIZED
In 1963, Havlena and Odeh8 developed the popular straightline method for oil reservoirs. Walsh
et al.9 0 presented a
general straight-line method for estimating reserves of the oiland gas- reservoirs without restriction on reservoir fluid
compositions. The results of their work were summarized in a
set of companion papers. The first one9 presents the
mathematical development and discusses applications to
initially-undersaturated, volumetric reservoirs. The second
discusses applications to initially-saturated and nonvohzmetric reservoirs.

InitiaI1y Undersaturated Reservoirs. Eq. A- 13 is the GMBE
for CSG that can be used (such as it is presented) in initiallysaturated reservoirs (Swl<1). Nevertheless, in order to apply it
to an initially-undersaturated reservoir (Swl=1), it was
rearranged. Substituting Eq. A-3 into A-13 yields
