For this session, all participants will receive the same refracturing dataset, and your task will be to independently evaluate the uplift in terms of increased contacted pore volume / . Each interpreter will conduct their analysis individually, and results will not be shared beforehand. The techniques used may vary between interpreters—for example, numerical modeling, multiphase flow material balance (FMB), Fractional RTA, CFIP or other methods.

The 2024 Software Symposium, hosted in October by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers, showcased the state of automated decline curve forecasting. The event featured a 'Bake Off' where 15 vendors' automated forecasts were analyzed on a common production dataset within 12 hours. This presentation dives into the parts of that analysis that David Fulford and Zack Warren focused on (and found most interesting): machine learning regression models, the use of synthetic well data, secondary phases, and humans vs. machines.
