Full Details

In October 2009 an SPE forum series meeting was held in Cadiz, Spain entitled “Getting to Robust Production Forecasts”. The discussions covered all aspects of production forecasting, however no clear consensus emerged on what is a ‘good’ production forecast.

Following this forum, a steering committee was set up under the auspices of the SPE. It decided that a ‘Reprint Book’ of papers on production forecasting, followed by a series of SPE workshops, would help encourage discussion of the issues in this area.

This first workshop will initiate these discussions, by looking at the following topics:

• Why Forecast?
• Forecasting for Investment Decisions
• What Makes a “Good” Production Forecast?
• Short-range Forecasting
• Long-range Forecasting
• Forecasting Methodologies
• How Do We Improve Production Forecasts?

Learnings from each workshop in the series will be collected and edited into a scribe report posted online and accessible by all of the series participants. Each posted report will build on those that came before it and participants are encouraged to comment on, and discuss further the topics of these postings as part of an online community.
