\mathrm{ \rm RPR } = \frac{V_{RHC}}{q_{HC}} 


In Decline Curve Analysis the RPR equation takes form:

\mathrm{RPR}(t) = \frac{Q_{max}-Q(t)}{q(t)}

Estimated Ultimate Recovery


RPR is measured in time units and is usually presented in years.

But in many other cases the initial production rate of the green field is being increased over time due to increase in drilling and advanced completions which leads to contraction of the field lifetime comparing to RPR estimate.


The RPR is closely related to Recovery Pace

 and in case of Exponential Production Decline they simply match:
