APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FORECASTING PRODUCTION FOR SHALE GAS WELL IN TRANSIENT FLOW USING MACHINE LEARNING METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for forecasting production for a shale gas well in a transitional flow region using a machine learning method. More specifically, the apparatus and method may derive an accurate result with less error than a conventional method of predicting productivity for a shale gas well by generating an artificial neural network model based on data to calculate future production for the shale gas well in a transitional flow region and calculating future production behavior and ultimate proved reserve with the calculated future production and production data for the shale gas well in a conventional transitional flow region using a decline curve method.
