Physics-Based Well Rate Forecasting
Pre-drilling forecasting
Uses physics-based input parameters to generate production forecasts prior to drilling.
- Digital twin built using porosity–permeability transforms
Post-drilling forecasting via history matching
Calibrates forecasts to early production data. Unlike Arps or other empirical decline models, the Gaussian approach is fully physics-based and tied to reservoir and fracture properties.
- History matching to early production data
- Gaussian, physics-based model
- Superior to Arps and other empirical decline methods
