aRpsDCA

an R package for Arps decline-curve analysis

aRpsDCA provides R implementations of functions for carrying out Arps decline-curve analysis on oil and gas production data.

aRpsDCA currently implements the following decline-curve types:

  • Exponential
  • Hyperbolic (and harmonic)
  • Hyperbolic with terminal exponential (aka "modified hyperbolic", "hyperbolic-to-exponential")
  • Any of the above with initial rate curtailment

aRpsDCA provides functions for

  • computing rate, cumulative production, and instantaneous decline over time
  • computing EUR and time to economic limit
  • performing best fits of various decline curve types to actual production data
  • rate, decline, and time unit conversions

aRpsDCA is released under the LGPL v2.1 and is free for commercial and non-commercial use.

The current version of aRpsDCA is 1.0.1 and is available from CRAN.

Release notes:
v1.0.0 (2014-04-03): initial release

v1.0.2 (2016-01-06): evaluation of hyperbolic-to-exponential declines with Di = Df now handled correctly
