    This course is built on the similarities of the basic theory behind Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) / Production Analysis (PA) / Modern Decline Analysis (MDA) and Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA). It discusses the basic theory behind PTA and RTA and the differences between assumptions and mathematical models.  Modern Production Decline Analysis methods, PTA in shale plays, complementarity of RTA and PTA, effect of data quality on the analysis results are also covered.
