Reservoir Tech Forum & “Constructing a Typical Well Production Profile”
Sponsored by Energy Navigator

Agenda
Each year, companies use typical well production profiles (type wells) to support billion dollar expenditures to buy and develop oil and gas resources. Unfortunately, these type wells can often have unrepresentative rate-time profiles and recoveries over-stated by as much as 50%. Recently published studies have identified the type well creation practices that will enhance accuracy and those that are best avoided.
During this full-day workshop, Energy Navigator presenters Dr. John Lee, Mr. Randy Freeborn, and Mr. Rod Sidle, will discuss the following topics:
-
Identifying objectives
-
Selecting wells to construct typical well profiles consistent with objectives
-
Placing wells into categories
-
Scaling wells to reference conditions, including lateral length
-
Determining most likely, optimistic and conservative profiles
-
Reviewing good and not-so-good practices in type well construction
-
Validating results
-
Applying type wells to property evaluation and reserves estimation
