2.0.0 - February 9th 2024

Predico is excited to announce the launch of autoRTA™ 🌟 , a cutting-edge module revolutionizing the field of rate transient analysis. Key Features of autoRTA are:


Advanced Data Science Integration: autoRTA leverages sophisticated data science techniques to bring a new level of automation to rate transient analysis.
Automatic Type Curve Analysis: The module skillfully analyzes type curves, providing comprehensive description of reservoir flow parameters such as permeability, skin, and drainage area (reserves).
Efficient Flow Regime Identification: autoRTA is capable of identifying various flow regimes, significantly fast-tracking the analysis process.
Automated History Matching: Automatically generate a production forecast based on automated Type Curve results for increased efficiency.
Automated Wellbore Model: autoRTA contains a comprehensive multiphase wellbore model for converting wellhead pressures to bottomhole conditions.
Absorbed Gas: autoRTA can handle both free and absorbed gas for conventional and unconventional reservoirs (shales and tight gas)
Time Efficiency: What used to take hours of manual history matching and production forecasting can now be accomplished in mere minutes or even seconds.


Included Analyses:

  • Blasingame plots

  • Normalized Pressure Integral (NPI) Plots

  • Bourdet analysis

  • Beta and Chow pressure curves


Comprehensive Flow Models:

  • Radial homogeneous and Radial Composite

  • Linear (Blasingame) flow models

  • Dual porosity options

  • No-flow and constant pressure boundaries

  • Advanced Fracture flow models, and more


We have also simplified the User Interface to make it more intuitive, provide additional functionality and overall enhance clarity and ease of use.
