Preface
The ARIES program provides enormous flexibility and power in decline curve analysis and
calculation of cash flows. In this class we will build upon the basic functions you learned in the
ARIES Fundamentals class. We will expand on some of the topics taught in the Fundamentals
class, as well as, discuss new topics. After taking this class you will be able to take advantage of
the flexibility and power available in ARIES.
Overview
The following is a brief description of the course content. The topics are
presented by Module, with a final chapter covering features that
encompass two or more modules.
Chapter 1 – Database Stucture
• The ARIES database structure
• ODBC connections, revisited
Chapter 2 – Project Manager
• Using the Data Transporter to transport cases into an existing
database and exploring the different options available.
• Revisit the power of the Global Editor
• Explore the functionality of the Master Table Drop Down Menus
Chapter 3 – MultiGraph
• Explore AutoCast feature of MultiGraph.
• Plotting Monthly and Daily data on the same graph.

Preface
• Plotting Monthly results from Economics.
Chapter 4 - Economics
• Examine Key Economic settings.
• Advanced Keywords and Functions.
• Risking
• Explore using data from Excel in the Economics section. For
example, simulator data.
• Using the LOAD line to overwrite a forecast. For example, when
the start date occurs prior to the last production. This Keyword
