Well Test Analysis in Complex Reservoirs Training

Current Course Schedule:

Objective:

The course is intended for engineers who already have grounding in the basics of well test analysis. The course will tackle well testing situations which are rarely covered in textbooks and are commonly found in fields around the world.

Course Description:

Emphasis will be placed on recognition of the behavior of typical models through use of the pressure derivative. Lectures and practical work will be allocated equal time on the course. A wide range of field examples will be tackled in the practical sessions which will be conducted using eP/Weatherford’s well test analysis software, PanSystem™ software. This format, which has been very successful in previous courses, enables participants to work with many field examples and thus gain a deeper understanding of the subject in a short time. Participants are encouraged to bring samples of data from their own well tests for use in the practical sessions.
