Background
Launched in 1997, and recently named one of the 100 fastest growing companies in Canada, Rapid creates breakthrough solutions for oil and gas companies that support the individuals, decision points, and business processes that determine profitability.

Rapid's Engineering Software and Services group provides pressure transient/production data analysis software and consulting, PAS file generation and submission consulting, and assistance meeting regulatory requirements. Rapid's Engineering Services has extensive experience with both small and large PTA projects in Alberta, US, and international locations, and have developed their expertiese through the analysis of thousands of conventional gas and coalbed methane wells.

Rapid has a strong focus on creating simple, user-friendly interfaces for applications that utilize leading-edge reservoir physics. They specialize in the analysis of coalbed methane for both wet and dry coals.

Project Description
In recent years, there has been a significant amount of progress in production data analysis technology for both oil and conventional gas reservoirs. Through the simultaneous analysis of both rates and flowing pressures, the petroleum industry has now moved far beyond conventional production analysis methods such as Arp's decline; however, very little of this technology is actually being applied to current coalbed methane, shale gas, tight gas, layered reservoirs and other unconventional systems such as pressure dependant permeability and porosity.

Through case studies and simulated examples, it will be shown in this presentation that modern methods such as dynamic material balance, rate transient analysis, and pressure transient analysis, can be easily modified to work with unconventional gas resources. Furthermore, it will be demonstrated that despite the uncertainty associated with these complex systems, simpler models can be used to provide accurate reserves, ultimate recovery estimates, and production forecasts.
