In this paper, decline curve analysis is used for estimating different parameters of bounded naturally fractured reservoirs. This analysis technique is based on rate transient technique, and it is shown that if production rate is plotted against time on a semi-log graph, straight lines are obtained that can be used to determine important parameters of the closed fractured reservoirs. The equati...

Decline curve analysis models are frequently used but still have many limitations. Approaches of decline curve analysis used for naturally-fractured reservoirs developed by water flooding have been few. To this end, a decline analysis model derived based on fluid flow mechanisms was proposed and used to analyze the oil production data from naturallyfractured reservoirs developed by water floodi...

this paper describes two data analysis techniques adopted in a decision support system (dss), decline curve estimation and artificial neural network (ann) approaches, which aid users in predicting oil production of a field. the system generates different predictions, according to scenario, chosen for prediction. these two approaches show that to explain production of a field, ann method shows b...
