1. An apparatus comprising at least one tangible, non-transitory computer readable media that comprises instructions executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations, comprising:
(i) receiving, from a client device communicably coupled to a server, a selection of a particular area identification (ID) of a plurality of area IDs stored on the server;
(ii) determining, based on the selected particular area ID, a plurality of hydrocarbon production values that comprise periodic area-level hydrocarbon production values associated with the particular area ID and a plurality of wells associated with the particular area ID;
(iii) determining a decline curve model for the area-level hydrocarbon production values associated with the particular area ID;
(iv) modeling the aggregated periodic well-level hydrocarbon production values with the determined decline curve model, the modeling comprising:
determining a first period of a number of periods, the first period associated with a first area-level hydrocarbon production value,
selecting a period of the number of periods, starting with the first period and ending with a last period of the number of periods, and
for the selected period, determining a number of active wells associated with the particular area ID and based on the number of active wells being more than one active well, for each active well in the selected period:
determining that the active well has at least one of pending production or sales production in the selected period, and
based on the active well having the at least one of pending production or sales production in the selected period, assigning the at least one of pending production or sales production to the active well;
(v) determining allocated well-level hydrocarbon production values based at least in part on the selected decline curve model to display at the client device; and
generating a user-viewable output file that comprises the determined allocated well-level hydrocarbon data values from step (v).
