The system includes a network, a server connected to the network, and a set of wells connected to the network. In a preferred embodiment, the server is programmed to store and execute the method. The method includes the steps of collecting a set of data from the set of wells, performing an first RPI® evaluation on the set of data, creating a matched data set from the set of data, segregating the matched data set into a set of comparison groups, normalizing each comparison group of the set of comparison groups, calculating a set of performance metrics between a subset of the set of comparison groups, and calculating a probability for each performance metric of the set of performance metrics.
