Production Group Normalization Tool Production Group Normalization Tool
Display and analyze monthly production data for a set of wells. Useful for comparing historical and average production between different populations of wells, production data can be summed, averaged, or time-normalized back to a single starting date. Also, compare production differences based on completion techniques, reservoir properties, or structural setting.
