PO.DCA.Diag.Beta Function
Description:
Computes the beta diagnostic β = t×D(t) for flow regime identification. β≈0.5: linear flow, β≈0.25: bilinear, β≈1.0: boundary-dominated.
Excel Function Syntax:
=PO.DCA.Diag.Beta(time, rate, t, L)
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| time | Time values (sorted ascending). |
| rate | Production rate values. |
| t | Time at which to compute beta. |
| L | Smoothing parameter for derivative calculation. Typical: 0.1-0.5. |

Decline Diagnostics Analysis
Diagnostic analysis for decline curve interpretation using derivative-based methods. These tools help identify flow regimes and validate decline model selection.
