Abstract: A method and computing system is disclosed herein. The computing system receives, from a remote computing device, a set of production information for a plurality of plays from a region. The set of production information is directed to past production of the well. The computing system generates an input data set based on the set of production information. The input data set is generated by imputing missing production data to the production information and collapsing the data set into calendar days. The computing system fits one or more decline curves to the input data set. The computing system consolidates the one or more curves into a new data set. The computing system classifies the one or more curves by identifying a subset of wells in the new data set. The subset of wells includes a threshold amount of production information. The computing system delivers the classified results to the remote computing device.

Abstract: An example valve includes: a seat member; a spool configured to be seated on the seat member to block fluid flow from a first port to a second port when the valve is in a closed state, wherein fluid at the first port applies a fluid force on the spool; a spring applying a biasing force on the spool toward the seat member, wherein as the fluid force overcomes the biasing force, the spool moves in the proximal direction off the seat member, thereby allowing fluid flow from the first port to the second port through a flow area formed between the spool and the seat member; a turbine configured to rotate as fluid flowing through the flow area flows downstream across the turbine; and an electric generator coupled to the turbine, such that rotation of the turbine causes the electric generator to generate electric power.
