The practical aspects of analyzing production performance has changed due to the increased exploitation efforts in unconventional reservoirs.Analysis of Oil and Gas Production Performanceexpands on these developing well-evaluation procedures and includes the latest best practices for new areas of shale and tight formation reservoirs. Built on the core fundamentals of curve analysis found in Poston and Poe's book, Analysis of Production Decline Curves, this new book is intended for engineers, geologists, and anyone working in the oil and gas industry with an interest in production forecasting of conventional and unconventional resources for evaluation and development.
