System, Method and Computer Program Product for Predicting Well Production

摘要

A system and method that analyzes well property data and historical production data in order to predict future well production and/or to identify the productivity potential across a hydrocarbon play. The system determines a correlation between historical cumulative production and well properties across the hydrocarbon play. Through utilization of Total Organic Content and thermal maturity, this correlation results in the calculation of a producibility index which is ultimately utilized to predict the production in new wells.
