For some constants A and B, the rate of production, R(t), of oil in a few oil well is modeled by: $$R(t)=A+Be^{-t}\sin(2 \pi t) $$ where t is the time in years, A is the equilibrium rate, and B is the variability coefficient.

To find the total amount of oil produced in the first N years of operation, I just integrate the who formula right?

Looks good to me, integrate from t=0 to t=N.
