Objectives:
Understanding the fundamental concepts of well test analysis and becoming familiar with recent advances in well test interpretation. The methodology described in the course, which has become the standard of the industry, presents a systematic way of interpreting well tests and reconciles the various methods that have been developed over the years. Practical problem-solving sessions are included in the course.
Prerequisite:
knowledge of transient well testing nomenclature
Audience:
Reservoir and production engineers, geologists and field personnel involved with the design and interpretation of well tests.
