Abstract
The invention stimulates production of an oil reservoir by determining a flow simulator from physical data measured in the oil reservoir; determining a first analytical model relating the production of the reservoir as a function of time by accounting for parameters which provides adjustment to production values closest to the production of the reservoir, the first model providing adjustment to the production values closest to a production values provided from the flow simulator; selecting at least one new production value, which is obtained from the reservoir simulator; and determining a second model by adjusting the first model so that the second model interpolates the new production value.
