Decline curve analysis is an important tool for estimating the future production of oil and gas wells. It involves fitting a mathematical model to historical production data to predict future production. This course will cover the theory and practical applications of decline curve analysis, including empirical methods for production forecasting. Participants will learn about the different types of decline curves, how to identify them, and how to use them to optimize production.
