2024 Software Symposium Roadshow: the Automated Forecasting “Bake-Off”

The 2024 Software Symposium Roadshow, hosted in October by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers, showcased the state of automated decline curve forecasting. The event featured a 'Bake Off' where 15 vendors' automated forecasts were analyzed on a common production dataset within 12 hours. The committee is now presenting the highlights and conclusions of the Bake-Off results in a roadshow across various chapters.

Lucas Smith and Christina Hilton serve on the SPEE Board of Directors and the Software Symposium Committee, with Lucas acting as the Committee Chair.

In addition, Lucas chairs the Internet Committee and works as a Gulf of Mexico Planning Engineer for Occidental Petroleum Company.
