Decline Curve Analysis

Decline. Diagnose. Predict.

EDS provides fast, intuitive decline curve analysis to forecast production and evaluate reservoir performance. Users can compare simulation results with standard decline models, exponential, harmonic, and hyperbolic and toggle log-scale plots for clearer trend interpretation. Both automatic and manual curve fitting are supported.
For unconventional wells, EDS includes Duong’s method to handle long transient-flow periods and improve early-to-mid-life production forecasting in low-permeability reservoirs.

EDS adds a unique capability to model reservoir boundary pressure decline using exponential, harmonic, or hyperbolic trends. This lets users simulate a single well in a system where boundary pressure drops over time mirroring true boundary-dominated flow.
The model captures late-time effects such as rising GOR when pressure falls below bubble point and increasing WOR as fluid properties shift with evolving gas saturation.
This feature provides a more realistic view of mature-well behavior and improves understanding of multiphase flow dynamics under pressure-depletion conditions.
