Claim One:
1. A method comprising: providing data for shale gas formations; performing a statistical analysis on the data for each of the shale gas formations; providing a simulation model; history matching the simulation model for each of the shale gas formations based at least in part on the performed statistical analysis to generate a history matched model for each of the shale gas formations wherein the history matching comprises performing a sensitivity analysis to assist with selection of parameters for history matching wherein the selection of parameters comprises selecting parameters to which production of a corresponding shale gas formation is sensitive based at least in part on a parameter sensitivity ranking; forecasting production for another shale gas formation by plugging in data for the other shale gas formation into each generated history matched model to generate results for the other shale gas formation from each of the generated history matched models; and controlling at least one piece of equipment based at least in part on the results.
