Advanced Well Test

Introduction

Well testing holds a pivotal role in oil and gas reservoir engineering, offering crucial insights for diagnosing reservoir characteristics, enhancing production efficiency, and informing strategic resource management decisions. Beyond Pressure Transient Analysis, Well Test Interpretation involves a comprehensive evaluation of field notes, surface operations, equipment, and wellbore configuration.

This training course provide an integrated approach to well test design, operation and interpretation. Furthermore, this Advanced Well Test training course provides in-depth expertise on testing methodologies, data acquisition, as well as the pertinent downhole instruments and surface machinery utilised in the well testing process. Moreover, the training course will delve into critical operational aspects inherent to well testing within the oil and gas industry. Active involvement in classroom exercises will serve to fortify the comprehension of fundamental principles and concepts, fostering a more profound grasp of the subject matter.
