COURSE OVERVIEW

This five-day comprehensive course is designed to provide in-depth knowledge and practical skills in well test analysis and interpretation for petroleum engineers. It covers key concepts, methodologies, and advanced techniques necessary for evaluating reservoir performance, characterizing reservoir properties, and optimizing production. The course combines theoretical instruction with hands-on exercises, allowing participants to interpret real-world well test data and apply their knowledge to complex reservoir scenarios.

In addition, the course covers geological and reservoir engineering concepts, methodologies, and procedures for the characterization of naturally fractured reservoirs. It addresses key challenges associated with fractured systems, including geomechanical aspects, fluid flow behavior, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), well testing, and well performance in fractured reservoirs. Special attention is given to laboratory experiments and EOR processes specifically designed for fractured reservoirs.
