Arguments

vector of rate data.

vector of cumulative production data.

volume

vector of interval volume data.

vector of times at which q, Np, or volume is measured.

t.begin

initial time for interval volume data, if non-zero.

lower

lower bounds for decline parameters (sane defaults are provided).

upper

upper bounds for decline parameters (sane defaults are provided).

initial.rate

initial rate, for declines with buildup.

time.to.peak

time to peak rate, for declines with buildup.

Value

best.exponential, best.hyperbolic, and best.hyp2exp return objects of the appropriate class (as from arps.decline) representing best fits of the appropriate type against q and t, in the same units as q and t.

best.fit returns the best overall fit, considering results from each function above.

best.exponential.from.Np, best.hyperbolic.from.Np, and best.hyp2exp.from.Np return objects of the appropriate class (as from arps.decline) representing best fits of the appropriate type against Np and t, in the same units as Np and t.

best.fit.from.Np returns the best overall fit, considering results from each function above.

best.exponential.from.interval, best.hyperbolic.from.interval, and best.hyp2exp.from.interval return objects of the appropriate class (as from arps.decline) representing best fits of the appropriate type against volume and t, in the same units as volume and t.

For these functions, t is taken to represent the time at the end of each producing interval; the beginning time for the first interval may be specified as t.begin if it is non-zero.

best.fit.from.interval returns the best overall fit, considering results from each function above.

best.exponential.curtailed, best.hyperbolic.curtailed, best.hyp2exp.curtailed, best.curtailed.fit, best.exponential.curtailed.from.Np, best.hyperbolic.curtailed.from.Np, best.hyp2exp.curtailed.from.Np, best.curtailed.fit.from.Np, best.exponential.curtailed.from.interval, best.hyperbolic.curtailed.from.interval, best.hyp2exp.curtailed.from.interval, and best.curtailed.fit.from.interval work as the corresponding functions above, but may return curtailed declines (as from curtail).

best.exponential.with.buildup, best.hyperbolic.with.buildup, best.hyp2exp.with.buildup, best.fit.with.buildup, best.exponential.from.Np.with.buildup, best.hyperbolic.from.Np.with.buildup, best.hyp2exp.from.Np.with.buildup, best.fit.from.Np.with.buildup, best.exponential.from.interval.with.buildup, best.hyperbolic.from.interval.with.buildup, best.hyp2exp.from.interval.with.buildup, and best.fit.from.interval.with.buildup work as the corresponding functions above, but will return a fit including a linear buildup portion (as from arps.with.buildup).

Details

Best-fitting is carried out by minimizing the sum of squared error in the rate or cumulative forecast, using nlminb as the optimizer.

Appropriate bounds are applied to decline-curve parameters by default, but may be altered using the lower and upper arguments to each specific function.
