ATECH Application Technology Limited presents
a 5 day course: Modern Well Test Analysis Who should attend and why? This
course is intended for engineers, geologists, and technologists who
do not work with pressure transient evaluation techniques on a day-to-day
basis, but want to improve their understanding of this important technology.
The basic concepts of modern well testing of conventional gas and
oil wells will be reviewed, from design of test programs to their
supervision in the field. The
topics will be dealt with in a practical manner, addressing the issues
of modern well testing. Real life examples will be used extensively
throughout the course to illustrate concepts and pressure analysis
techniques. Course Content:
·
The
basic concepts of modern well testing of conventional gas and oil
wells will be reviewed, from design of test programs to their supervision
in the field.
·
Quality
control procedures, for confirming that pressure and flow data is
representative of the reservoir, will be examined.
·
Pitfalls
associated with the non-unique nature of pressure transient models,
used in isolation, will be highlighted.
Modern diagnostic techniques, characterizing reservoir performance
and emphasizing integration with geological and seismic data, will
be extensively reviewed.
·
Models
reviewed will include (but not be limited to): radial homogenous,
radial composite, dual permeability, and dual porosity. Partial penetration, aquifer support, and
hydraulically fractured (finite conductivity) well models will also
be discussed.
·
The
infinite acting solutions from these models will be examined, as well
as their behavior in the presence of field boundaries. This will include leaky faults, no flow, and
constant pressure boundaries.
·
The
application of pressure transient data in forecasting well deliverability
performance will be reviewed for constant pressure wellbore conditions. The estimation of average reservoir pressures
for asymmetric reservoir configurations in gas wells and oil fields
under waterflood, will be reviewed.
The use of average pressure in assessing reserves will also
be addressed.
·
The
estimate of mechanical skin damage and its distinction from geometrical
effects, such as partial penetration, will be examined in order to
facilitate the reliable identification of appropriate well stimulation
candidates.
·
DST,
injection and interference testing procedures will also be reviewed.
·
Real
life examples will be used extensively throughout the course to illustrate
concept and analysis techniques of pressure transient evaluation. Course Instructor: Mr.
