Decline Curve Analysis: A Comparative Study of Proposed Models Using Improved Residual Functions
Author(s): Paryani M*, Ahmadi M, Awoleke O and Hanks C Paryani M*, Ahmadi M, Awoleke O and Hanks C
The flow behavior in nano-darcy shales neighbored by high conductivity induced natural fractures violates the assumptions behind Arps’ decline models that have been successfully used in conventional reservoirs for decades. Current decline curve analysis models such as Logistic Growth Analyses, Power Law Exponential and Duong’s model attempt to overcome the limitations of Arps’ model. This study compares the capability of these models to match the past production of hundred shale oil wells from the Eagle Ford and investigate how the choice of residual function affects the estimate of model parameters and subsequently the well life, pressure depletion and ultimate recovery. Using the proposed residual functions increased the tendency of deterministic models to have bounded estimates of reserves. Results regarding well performance, EUR, drainage area and pressure deplet.. View More»
