Transient Well Test Analysis

Audience

Reservoir and Production Engineers

Purpose

The course covers well test objectives and concepts; classical methods for drawdown and build- up analysis, gas well testing, IPR & AOF analysis, well test validation. The course first introduces the purpose of well testing and the basic methodology. Essential reservoir rock and fluid properties which are essential for analyzing well test will be reviewed and the theory and fundamental equations are covered before introducing specific analysis techniques for oil and gas reservoirs. Operational aspects are covered in terms of sampling and use of specialised testing equipment.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the course, participants will learn about:

• Downhole and surface Testing Equipment.
• Well Testing Sequence and data Validation.
• Gas well Test Sequences and Analysis Procedures.
• Oil Well Testing.
• Well Test Design.
