Practical Well Test Analysis
Candidates:
Engineers, geologists, geophysicists, field personnel, and management who have limited knowledge and experience with pressure transient testing.No prerequisites are required.
Summary:
The objective of this course is to learn the basic principles of pressure transient testing. Upon completion of the course the attendee will be able to identify what reservoir and well properties can be obtained from pressure transient testing, how to use the results from pressure transient testing in well/reservoir management, and be able to design and analyze basic well tests.
