Welcome to Danomics: DCA
Getting Started with DCA
This guide will demonstrate how to create a new decline curve analysis (DCA) project, customize your layouts, style plots, filter to relevant data sets, set global constraints on your declines curves, calculate economics, perform manual declines, and generate multi-well type curves.
If at any point in the process you need help, please contact us at support@danomics.com
Sample Data
For this tutorial you will need well header and production data. You can download them using these links:
- Production data (CSV format / Excel format)
Step 1: Loading Data
To get started you will first need to upload some data to Danomics. In the video below we show how to upload well log, well header, well tops, production, and shapefile data.
Creating a new DCA Project
In this video we demonstrate how to create a new DCA project, select your databases, and update the layout.
Setting Filters, Constraints, and Economics
In this video we demonstrate how to filter down to the well set of interest, set global constraints on your decline curve analysis, and set up economics.
Manual DCA and Multi-well Type Curves
When you create a new DCA project all the wells are automatically forecasted using your global constraints. In this video we demonstrate how to perform manual overrides to your production forecasts. I also demonstrate how to generate multi-well type curves to forecast your production in wells with short production histories.
Creating Multi-well Type Curves
In this video we demonstrate how to generate multi-well type curves to forecast your production in wells with short production histories.
Exporting Data
In this video we demonstrate how to export your results.
Summary
Congratulations on completing the Welcome Guide for decline curve analysis in Danomics. Although there is a lot more that can be done with Danomics DCA the knowledge you have taken from the videos should provide you with the fundamentals needd to make meaningful DCA interpretations. If you have ay questions or need any help, please contact support at support@danomics.com.

DCA: Type well curves
In this video I demonstrate how to generate a well set filtered by a number of criteria and generate a multi-well type curve. Before starting this video you should already know how to load your data and create a DCA project. If not, please review those videos. Type well curves are generated by creating a decline that represents data from multiple wells.
DCA: Loading Production data
In this video I demonstrate how to load production and well header data for use in a decline curve analysis project. The first step is to gather your data. You’ll need: Production data – this can be in CSV, Excel, or IHS 298 formats. For spreadsheet formats you’ll need columns for API, Date, Oil, Gas, Water (optional), and days of production for that period (optional). Well header data – this can be in CSV, Excel, or IHS 297 formats.
Sample data to get started
