Who Should Attend: 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. Previous experience in well testing, production operations and reservoir engineering is helpful but is not required.
General Notes: 5 Day Course. Basic Windows navigation skills are recommended prior to attending. This course involves the use of computers, which are provided at additional cost, for each two participants.
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 use a systematic approach to well test analysis and will apply it using modern well test analysis software. Numerous data sets 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 completion.
Course Topics
- Design well tests and specify equipment requirements.
- Set up and analyze well tests for oil and gas wells 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.
- Apply analysis principles using commercial well test analysis software.
