Curtailment Math - Simple Example
Downtime and Curtailment in Enersight
- A well’s productivity on a rate versus cumulative production basis is maintained. This means that even with the constrained production, Enersight will eventually produce the well to its full reserves, provided the well does not hit an economic limit.
- Production rates are calculated on a daily or monthly basis, based on user specified settings
- The following examples show a well that has been curtailed. The solid line shows the potential production, while the dashed line shows the actual production. This actual production could be different due to any type of curtailment, downtime or risk.
Example 1
- 100% shut-in for 1 month
- After shut-in period, well picks up at the same rate as before the downtime event
- Because the well was shut in during April, May’s production is higher than the original forecast that assumed 100% uptime

Example 2
- Unplanned downtime of 10% for full life
- 100% shut-in for 1 month
- After shut-in period, well picks up at the same rate as before downtime event
