Reservoir Performance

DCA & RTA Technology for Production Forecasting

Forecast production fast with Decline Curve Analysis and Rate Transient Analysis

Data-Driven Reservoir Performance Analysis

tNavigator’s Reservoir Performance module is reservoir analysis software for evaluating production performance and forecasting future output using Decline Curve Analysis (DCA), Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) and other analytical methods. It lets engineers extract value from dynamic production data quickly – as a standalone tool or as part of an integrated reservoir modelling workflow.

Fast Production Forecasting Without Full Simulation

Reservoir Performance lets users analyse production data, benchmark performance and generate forecasts without requiring full reservoir simulation or detailed geological modelling. Working directly with historical production and pressure data, it provides rapid insight into reservoir behaviour and recovery potential.


Simple and Fast Analysis

Load production data and begin analysis immediately, without the need for complex modelling or simulation.

Data-Driven Forecasting

Generate DCA and RTA forecasts based on real production and pressure data, making Reservoir Performance ideal for mature fields, analogue reservoirs or early-stage evaluations.

Scalable and Flexible Workflows

Apply DCA and RTA across hundreds of wells, automate workflows and adjust forecasts dynamically to reflect operational changes such as artificial lift or new wells.


Reservoir Performance supports a wide range of production analysis workflows:

  • Decline Curve Analysis (DCA) – apply multiple mathematical models to production forecase; including Arps, Duong, Power Law Exponential and Stretched Exponential.
  • Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) – diagnose flow regimes using normalised rate and pressure, the Bourdet derivative, and Flowing Material Balance for reserve estimation.
  • Production data analysis – import and analyse well- or field-level production data.
  • History matching – fit models to historical production trends.
  • Multi-well analysis – analyse individual wells, type wells or groups of wells at once.
  • Scenario comparison – benchmark results across different modelling approaches.
  • Forecasting & EUR estimation – estimate ultimate recovery and future performance.
  • Flexible data import – load data directly from Model Designer or external spreadsheets.
  • Interactive visualisation – use charts and dashboards to explore production trends.

Reservoir Performance is fully integrated within the tNavigator platform:

  • Create and visualise DCA directly inside a Model Designer project, or export production data and bottom-hole pressures for full RTA.
  • Compare analytical results with reservoir simulation outputs.
  • Support field development planning and optimisation workflows.
