Abstract: In the production decline curve analysis, there have been two unresolved problems, namely how to determine the effectiveness of such data and the uniqueness of the results. This paper presents the relation between Qt and t established with Arps hyperbolic decline equation, by which the problems can be solved. Case study shows that this method is feasible and effective.

Key words: decline curve, production forecast, recoverable reserve
