    The document discusses oil well production over time. It shows that initial production rates are high after discovery but then decline over time. As the well ages, water production increases and eventually exceeds oil production, at which point the well is abandoned. This typical production profile is illustrated with graphs showing the decline curve and annual production data from the Jay Field over several decades as water cuts increased.
