Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
apply the fundamental concepts of decline curve analysis and Arps decline curves analysis for reserves evaluation during boundary dominated flow regime,
identify the typical flow regimes using a diagnostic plots, estimate the fluid in place,
apply the developed analytical models to match the observed rate, forecast future well performance,
perform a sensitivity analysis by identifying the possible range of parameters.
