Advanced Well Test Analysis & Design
Course Description
This course covers well test analysis and design along with the underlying principles, dealing with various situations encountered in actual well test analysis and interpretation. It emphasizes well performance analysis and reservoir description within the context of reservoir geology and operational history. Operational issues in well test design and preparation are also addressed. Manual problem solving is used to understand the basic engineering principles applied. It is designed to provide the candidates with a working knowledge of well test analysis and design for engineers working in the areas of reservoir engineering, production operations, drilling and completion.

This course will focus on the different types of tests and techniques, both analytical and graphical, for data representation and analysis of well tests. Types of techniques covered will include diagnostic plots-derivative for draw down, and buildup tests. The candidates will learn about the interpretation of complex data, such as those from well test in naturally fractured reservoirs, hydraulically fractured wells, horizontal wells, along with gas and gas condensate reservoirs.

By the end of this BTS training course, participants will be able to:

  • Analyze drawdown and buildup tests in oil and gas wells
  • Identify flow regimes using the log-log diagnostic plot
  • Describe characteristic pressure behavior for common bounded reservoir geometries
  •  Identify well test data affected by various wellbore and near-wellbore phenomena
  •  Design a well test to meet desired objectives
  •  Estimate average drainage area pressure
  •  Analyze well tests in hydraulically fractured wells, horizontal wells, and naturally fractured reservoirs

Geologists, Petro physicists, reservoir engineers, production engineers, laboratory researchers, and gas field operators, engineers and geoscientists who want to understand well testing principles and interpretation techniques to design, analyze, report, evaluate results or intelligently participate in the well testing process
