A Flat Projection is a horizontal projection that will not change over time. Flat projections are especially useful for scheduling ratio products such as GOR or Yield. It is simple to enter a specific yield for a number of months. You can only use flat projection segments on products that are set up with time-based projections, such as well count and days.
