(4) New Technique of Decline Curve Analysis Using Excel

ABSTRACT
A new technique has been developed for estimating Recoverable Reserves with accuracy of 97%
or greater, which gives it a very high reliability.

Unlike conventional techniques, it is not based on the daily production curve. It uses cumulative
production as target curve.

It exploits the benefits of the Microsoft Excel program for obtaining an automatic adjustment of
cumulative production, without the subjectivity derived of the evaluator.

This technique has been used in dozens of reservoirs in Venezuela, with great success, and its
application has spread increasingly. In some cases, accuracies 99% were obtained.

For perfecting the technique, it has been complemented with the water cut adjusting.
