Abstract: On the basis of Arps fundamental production decline law, a simple and reliable analysis method of production decline was presented, and the linear relationship between cumulative production rate and time in log coordinate system was developed. By actual verification, this method is very reliable, and especially suitable for the oilield in which the production rate is greatly fluctuating.

Key words: Production decline, Analysis, Linear equation, Prediction
