Specific type of production rate q(t) decline:
|
|
|
where
q_0 = q(t=0) | Initial production rate of a well (or groups of wells) |
D | model parameter which in this specific case coincides with a constant Production decline rate |
\displaystyle Q(t)=\int_0^t q(t) \, dt | cumulative production by the time moment t |
Q_{\rm max} =\int_0^{\infty} q(t) \, dt | ultimate cumulative production |
It can be applied to any fluid production: water, oil or gas.
