Well Test Design & Analysis – WTA

This course stresses practical application of well test theory to design and interpret pressure transient tests. An integrated approach to well test interpretation is emphasized throughout the course. This course will focus on the different types of tests and techniques, both analytical and graphical, for data representation and analysis of well tests.

Target Audience

Engineers and geoscientists who want to understand well testing principles and interpretation techniques to design, analyse, report, evaluate results or intelligently participate in the well testing process. Previous experience in production and/or reservoir engineering is recommended. Previous experience in well testing is helpful but is not required.

Outcome From the Course

• Analyse drawdown and build-up tests in oil and gas wells.
• Identify flow regimes using the log-log diagnostic plot.
• Describe characteristic pressure behaviour for common bounded reservoir geometries.
• Types of techniques covered will include diagnostic plots-derivative for draw down, & buildup tests.
• Participants will learn about the interpretation of complex data, such as those from well test in naturally fractured reservoirs, hydraulically fractured wells, horizontal wells, along with gas and gas condensate reservoirs.
• There will be a Pre and post assessment at the end of this course.
