This five-day course will focus on the different types of tests and techniques, both analytical and graphical, for data representation and analysis of well tests. Types of techniques covered will include diagnostic plots-derivative for draw down, and buildup tests.  Participants will learn about the interpretation of complex data, such as those from well test in naturally fractured reservoirs, hydraulically fractured wells, horizontal wells, along with gas and gas condensate reservoirs.  Each day participants will see examples of the types and techniques discussed along with practice problems.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Learn about the interpretation of complex data, such as those from well test in naturally fractured reservoirs, hydraulically fractured wells, horizontal wells, along with gas and gas condensate reservoirs
• Learn about the need for testing and the states of well performance
• Learn about diagnostic and derivative plots analysis
• Learn about the interpretation methodology of various types of well testing
• Learn about the interpretation of well test data in naturally fractured reservoirs
• Learn about well test analysis in gas and gas condensate reservoirs
• Learn about pseudo-pressure and type curve analysis techniques, along with phase redistribution
• Learn about interference test and reservoir limit tests

This course is intended for all drilling engineers, reservoir engineers, petroleum and production engineers, development asset and project managers.
