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 required to evaluate reservoir performance, characterize reservoir properties, and optimize production. The course combines theoretical instruction with hands-on exercises, enabling participants to interpret real-world well test data and apply their knowledge to complex reservoir scenarios. The program is tailored for petroleum engineers, reservoir engineers, production engineers, well test specialists, and geoscientists. Intended for professionals with a basic background in reservoir engineering, the course emphasizes advanced well test data interpretation, pressure transient analysis, and reservoir management optimization. Participants will develop practical skills in conducting and analyzing well tests, applying modern interpretation techniques, and integrating results into reservoir models to support informed decision-making and improved well performance.

INSTRUCTOR

Dr. Ali Jaffri

Dr. Ali Jaffri

Dr. Ali Jaffri is the CEO of Applied Stratigraphix LLC, has a doctorate in geology, and specializes in sequence stratigraphy. He has nineteen years of experience in sedimentology and stratigraphy related projects in the North Sea, Lower and Middle Indus Basins, Barents Sea, Offshore East, and West Africa, Offshore Mid-Norway, Kohat-Potohar Basin and  most US onshore basins. His doctorate at Colorado State University focused on sequence stratigraphy of mixed carbonate-siliciclastic-evaporite systems. Masters Degree was acquired from Oklahoma State University and thesis focused on fractured carbonate reservoirs.  Bachelors from the University of Colorado at Boulder involved fieldwork on fluvial stratigraphy.
