Overview
Design and interpret pressure transient tests to characterise reservoirs and wells.
Objectives
- Design a build-up test
- identify flow regimes on derivative plots
- estimate permeability and skin
- detect boundaries
Who should attend
Reservoir and production engineers and well test supervisors.
Training methodology
Instructor-led sessions, worked field examples, case studies from operating assets, group exercises and a final assessment.
