1. Which statement is INCORRECT about definition of decline curve analysis?

a. It is a curve-fitting method to find decline curve parameters


b. According to Arps, three decline curve parameters are initial rate, initial decline rate,
and decline exponent
c. It is a method to extrapolate production data for production forecasting
d. It is a curve-fitting method to calculate the original oil-in-place

2. What causes the result of decline curve analysis to be not precise?


a. Number of iterations needed to do the optimization during curve-fitting
b. The outliers of the data that makes the data too noisy
c. The incorrect guess of initial decline parameters
d. The incorrect format of datetime in the data

3. How many data needed for decline curve analysis, and which?
a. 2 data; time and reservoir pressure
b. 1 data; production rate only
c. 1 data; cumulative production
d. 2 data; time and production rate

4. What are the units of initial rate, initial decline rate, and decline exponent for oil
production?
a. Cubic feet per day, cubic feet per day, and unitless
b. Barrel per year, cubic feet per day, and cubic feet
c. Barrel per day, barrel per day, and unitless
d. Cubic feet per day, cubic feet per psi, and unitless

5. Which one is CORRECT about a hyperbolic decline?


a. It has decline exponent less than 0, cannot be negative
b. It has decline exponent larger than 1, can be negative
c. It has decline exponent between 0 and 1, can be negative
d. It has decline exponent equals infinity (∞)

6. What are NOT the steps in doing decline curve analysis? (Answers more than 1)
a. Trim initial buildup in data
b. Interpolation of production rate data

d. Remove outliers from data
e. Give an initial guess and specify number of iterations
f. Remove the initial buildup in the data

7. Which statement is CORRECT about smoothening data?


a. The window and distance away from mean and std is exact
b. To know the best window and distance away from mean, we must try from small
number first then advancing to higher number
c. Very large window and distance away from mean is always the best to remove
outliers
d. Very small window and distance away from mean is always the best to remove
outliers
8. What is RMSE?
a. It stands for root median shifted error, a method to measure the goodness of fit
b. It stands for root mean squared error, a metric to produce decline curve parameters
c. It stands for root mean squared error, a metric to measure the goodness of fit
d. It stands for root median squared error, a method to produce decline curve
parameters

9. How is RMSE calculated?


a. Sum y and yfit, divide by N data, square the sum, take the root
b. Divide y and yfit by N data, take the root, and subtract them
c. Subtract y and yfit, divide by N data, square the difference, take the root
d. Subtract y and yfit, square the difference, divide by N data, take the root

10. Which one of these scenarios can make a decline exponent negative?

b. When too much oil is produced from the reservoir
c. When water is injected into the reservoir
d. It can never be negative
