Type-Well Curve Fundamentals Course

By Bertrand Groulx

Bertrand Groulx

Type-Well Curve Fundamentals is a professional training course designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of type-well curve development and its critical role in reserves evaluation, development planning, and production performance analysis. The course addresses the complexities, terminology, and challenges in creating accurate type-well curves, while emphasizing the dangers of errors which can lead to poor development decisions and negative market impacts. Participants will learn various statistical tools and techniques to better communicate uncertainty and develop reliable forecasts. Additionally, the course covers advanced methods such as auto-forecasting and machine learning applications for curve development. Through practical insights and real data examples, learners will gain the skills needed to optimize completion designs and reduce risks in multi-million dollar investment decisions.Read more...
