Calculate the Abandonment Date given an oil production profile based on pre-determined production rates and a decline curve | ||||||||
This is a companion function of ProdProf, the oilfield production profile generator. Now ProdProf automatically determines when the abandonment rate has been reached and the field is depleted, but the question this function answers is: when does that happ | ||||||||
