Description

Designed for you, if you are...

• A professional who is directly involved in pressure transient interpretation or dealing with service companies offering well testing
• A geologist, reservoir engineer, supervisor or manager who is involved in formation evaluation, reserve estimation and general reservoir engineering
• A professional with basic understanding of well testing and interpretation

How we build your confidence

• Numerous examples and exercises to develop your interpretation skills
• Exercises are based on both simulated and real field examples
• Significant time is spent on test design and prediction runs
• Before you use commercial interpretation programs, you will learn the foundation of analysis applying Excel

The benefits from attending

• Select the appropriate test methodology
• Select the required downhole and surface equipment
• Design the test sequence
• Interpret the test data utilising the newest methodology including deconvolution
• Predict the well production behaviour
