Evaluation of Well Performance “KD” In Field X Using The Decline Curve Analysis Method

Abstract

Accurate estimation of hydrocarbon reserves is critical in petroleum engineering, especially for the evaluation of well performance and optimization of production strategies. This research analyzes the production performance of "KD" both before and after completion operations using the Decline Curve Analysis (DCA) method. Estimated maximum recovery (EUR) and estimated remaining reserves (ERR) are calculated to evaluate the effectiveness of the completion process. The results show that the operating period significantly increases the EUR and extends the well life. This study emphasizes the importance of periodic evaluation of well performance to maximize hydrocarbon recovery. These findings contribute to the optimization of production strategies and the improvement of decision-making processes in reservoir management. It is recommended that future research include additional reservoir parameters and alternative recovery techniques to increase the accuracy of reserve estimates.
