Introduction
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 completion.
Objectives
- Design well tests and specify equipment requirements
- Set up and analyze well tests for oil and gas well susing 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
Training Methodology
The training methodology is interactive with group exercises and is suitable for all employees involved in functions management. The pace and level of the training workshop is customized to the understanding of the delegates. Ongoing back-up and support is available after the training on request to the supplier, and the training course is also available for in-house presentation as well as for “Competency Transfer”.
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.
