CDGA

Advanced Skills for Well Testing & Pressure Transient Analysis

This course provides participants with the advanced skills and understanding required to interpret and analyze complex pressure transient tests in oil, gas and water injection wells. Simple models are used to illustrate principles and to analyze real reservoirs. More complicated models are introduced as extensions of the simple models. The course addresses identification of both simple and complex reservoir models and quantification of important reservoir properties in homogeneous-acting, bounded and infinite-acting, naturally and hydraulically fractured reservoirs, and analysis of both vertical and horizontal wells.

Training Objective

By the end of this CDGA training course, participants will be able to:

Estimate depth o investigation achieved during transient tests
Identify wellbore-storage distorted well-test data
Identify flow regimes during transient tests and establish the likely reservoir model to use in test interpretation
Estimate well and reservoir properties including permeability, skin factor, average drainage area pressure, and distance to important heterogeneities
Estimate reservoir properties in complex wells and reservoirs, including horizontal wells, hydraulically fractured wells, and naturally fractured reservoirs
Establish appropriate well test objectives and design tests to achieve those objectives
