Reservoir Engineering
Well Test Design and Analysis
A practical course on applying well test theory to design and interpret pressure transient tests, with an integrated interpretation approach throughout. Hand calculations and simple spreadsheet work reinforce the concepts using both synthetic and real field data. It covers conventional and unconventional reservoirs, and participants leave ready to apply the methods on the job.
