Abstract—Decline curve analysis is a technique can be
applied to a single well, and total reservoir. Decline analysis
routinely used by engineers to estimate initial hydrocarbon in
place, hydrocarbon reserves at some abandonment conditions,
and forecasting future production rate. The remaining reserve
depends on the production points that selected to represent the
real well behavior, the way of dealing with the production data,
and the human errors that might happen during the life of the
field. In this study the actual oil rate technique is applied
under decline curve analysis (D.C.A) program, and screening
data points to calculate remaining and recoverable reserves.
Index Terms—Decline curve, production history, initial
decline rate, remaining reserve, scenario.
