Modern Well Testing Technology
Course Description
The course emphasizes the practical application of well test theory to the solution of real well testing problems from design through interpretation for oil, gas and water injection wells. Participants will be introduced to a systematic approach to well test analysis and will apply it using modern well test analysis software. Numerous datasets with non-ideal behavior will be reviewed and analyzed to allow participants to gain experience with real world problems. Participants will be able to apply their newly acquired skills in their job assignments immediately upon course.

By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

    • Design well tests and specify equipment requirements
    • Set up and analyze well tests for oil and gas well using traditional and modern well testing analysis techniques
    • Perform QC analysis of pressure data; identify and discard bad data
    • Identify various wellbore and reservoir characteristics and choose the appropriate model for analysis 

 

Geologists, Geophysicists, Geomechanics Engineers, Drilling Engineers, Production Engineers, Completion Engineers, Reservoir Engineers, Petrophysicists, Petroleum Engineers, Exploration Supervisors and managers concerned with the Geomechanics challenges of field development and exploration, Log Analysts, Petroleum Engineers; Experienced Technicians, Technical Reservoir Engineers, Processing Engineers, Subsurface Geologists, Wellsite Geologists, Reservoir, and Operations Engineers and other staff involved in the acquisition, use of well-site geological data, and operations geology, 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
