Forecasting gathering systems

Forecasting is used to plan for future development, or to determine when optimization is necessary in your system. In Piper, a delivery facility is required for any system where fluid flows from a reservoir. The delivery facility is used as the sales / fluid destination point. The system may also contain other facility types. Each additional facility type that is included is intended to limit system performance within the range that is, or will be physically available. The following sections discuss models used to forecast gas or oil production:

• gas
• oil
