Abstract (en)

The method has five stages: Stage 1 consists of constructing a flow simulator based on physical data measured at the deposit; Stage 2 consists of determining a first analytical model linking the production of the deposit to a time function, taking into account parameters that influence production. In Stage 3 the first model is adjusted to a finite number of production values obtained from the simulator. In Stage 4 a new production value is selected from the simulator, and in Stage 5 a second model is produced by adjusting the first model in such a way that the second model interpolates the new productin value.
