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, enabling participants to interpret real-world well test data and apply their knowledge to complex reservoir scenarios. In addition, the course introduces fundamental concepts in carbonate rock analysis. It discusses the criteria used to identify depositional systems and sequence stratigraphy, examines diagenetic alterations, and evaluates their impact on porosity and permeability characteristics. Through case studies of carbonate petroleum systems, participants will learn to recognize controls on heterogeneity and associated risk factors, highlighting geological processes operating at different spatial scales.

Professor Maria Mutti has over 35 years of experience in the study of carbonate rocks. Dr. Mutti holds degrees for the University of Bologna (Laurea in Geosciences 1987), University of Wisconsin-Madison (MSc Geology 1990), and University of Milanm (PhD 1992). Maria is Chair of Sedimentology at the University of Potsdam since 2002 and has previously held faculty appointments at the University of Southern California (Los Angeles) and research appointments at ETH Zürich and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where she managed the research planning of the International Ocean Drilling Program. She has extensive experience in outcrop and subsurface studies and has worked on carbonate rocks and reservoirs in many basins worldwide. Maria has served in many international committees and societies and has President of SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology). Maria has over three decades of experience in consulting, training and development of research programs in applied carbonate sedimentology.
The course is designed for Petroleum Engineers, Drilling Engineers, Geologists, Petrophysicists, Geo-modelers, Reservoir Engineers, Management and Simulation and assumes little prior knowledge in carbonate geology.
