Participants will gain an understanding of the primary objective of surface and downhole well testing which is to assess well productivity by measuring gas, oil and water flow rates and pressures under controlled production conditions. A major focus during the course is to instill on the participant a thorough understanding of safe handling practices of the produced effluents (solids, liquids and gases) at high pressures and temperatures.

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

• Define the reasons for Well Testing Objectives
• Gain Basics of Well Testing Interpretation
• Surface Well Testing
• Testing Data Acquisition
• Fluid Sampling and Analysis
• Drill-Stem Testing
• Tubing Conveyed Perforating
• HSE Best Practices

Reservoir Engineers, Production Engineers, Petroleum Engineers, Production Supervisors as well as others needing a practical understanding of Well Testing Operations.

This interactive Training will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas and will include;

• Lectures
• Workshop & Work Presentation
• Case Studies and Practical Exercise
• Videos and General Discussions
