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 well performance, determine 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 field 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 focuses on advanced well test data interpretation, pressure transient analysis, and reservoir management optimization.
Participants will develop practical skills in designing, conducting, and analyzing well tests, applying modern interpretation techniques, and integrating well test results into reservoir models to support informed decision-making and improved well performance.
