A fundamentals-first guide to reservoir production decline analysis
Production decline-curve analysis is presented here as an engineering discipline that should remain understandable beyond its software outputs. Hedong Sun works from core concepts through a range of methods, including Arps, Fetkovich, Blasingame, Agarwal-Gardner, NPI, transient analysis, long linear flow, and FMB. Attention is given to the physical and mathematical models behind the curves, along with type-curve solutions, matching procedures, analysis workflows, and worked examples designed for hand reconstruction. An appendix gathers nomenclature and major equations, while downloadable computer programs extend the book’s practical toolkit.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Reservoir engineers seeking a deeper grounding in decline-curve methods
- Oil and gas professionals who use production-analysis software and want to understand its underlying models
- Technical learners interested in worked analysis procedures and equations

In recent years, production decline-curve analysis has become the most widely used tool in the industry for oil and gas reservoir production analysis. However, most curve analysis is done by computer today, promoting a "black-box" approach to engineering and leaving engineers with little background in the fundamentals of decline analysis. Advanced Production Decline Analysis and Application starts from the basic concept of advanced production decline analysis, and thoroughly discusses several decline methods, such as Arps, Fetkovich, Blasingame, Agarwal-Gardner, NPI, transient, long linear flow, and FMB. A practical systematic introduction to each method helps the reservoir engineer understand the physical and mathematical models, solve the type curves and match up analysis, analyze the processes and examples, and reconstruct all the examples by hand, giving way to master the fundamentals behind the software. An appendix explains the nomenclature and major equations, and as an added bonus, online computer programs are available for download.
