Description

Designed for you, if you are...

• A geologist, petrophysicist, reservoir engineer, supervisor or manager involved in formation evaluation, reserve estimation and general reservoir engineering
• Directly reservoir management and production enhancement or prediction
• A professional with basic reservoir engineering knowledge

How we build your confidence

• A comprehensive overview of RTA methodology
• The course provides the theoretical background including reservoir models and boundary conditions
• Step-by-step introduction in rate transient analysis and methodology helps understand the functionality of specialised interpretation software
• Demonstration of commercial software for well test interpretation with practical examples

The benefits from attending

• Select appropriate interpretation methodology depending on the availability of pressure data.
• Decide on what data portion needs to be selected for meaningful analysis.
• Understand the theory and practical application of RTA and decline curve analysis.
• Use commercial software for well test interpretation.
• Be in position to apply deconvolution to forecast production by defining a scenario of producing pressures.
