*Brons 1963 and Fetkovitch 1983 applied constant pressure solution to diffucisivty equation and demonstrated that exponential decline curve actually reflects single phase, incompressible fluid production from a closed reservoir. DCA is more than a empirical curve fit.

RF vs. HCPVI, Log (WOR) vs. Np, Log (Qo+Qw) vs. Np and Masoner plots should be also used in waterflood cases in addition to conventional methods mentioned earlier to ensure estimation of incremental recoveries due to Waterflood and/or impact on recovery due to constraints in the system. As a special case, Roland Horne..et al (SPE 84370) have proposed techniques to apply DCA on naturally fractured reservoirs that have been developed using waterflooding.
