Courses

The workshop is designed for the attendee to become acquainted with past and current decline curve analysis methods.  Single and dual fluid production systems will be discussed along with the different types of declining curves.  Students will also be learning about the difference between the nominal and continuous exponential declines, the analysis of production histories, when and when not to apply decline curve analysis, and production segments.  Fetkovich transient and Arps decline curve analysis techniques, methods to amend a non-converging production curve to force it to the economic limit, re-initializing decline curves, material balance time, and real time relationships will also be covered throughout the duration of this course.

It is recommended that each student bring a portable computer to class because type curve, rate-time, and other auxiliary programs will be furnished to each participant.  During the duration of this course these programs will be used to solve real world problems to insure the participant leaves with a working knowledge of the utility of each program.
