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 reservoir scenarios. The course begins with an introduction to fundamental drilling concepts and the key parameters influencing drilling performance. The required mathematical foundations are then reviewed to ensure participants can effectively apply analytical tools. Building on this knowledge, the program demonstrates how these techniques can be tailored to support drilling optimization. The course concludes with the analysis of a real field case, allowing participants to apply the concepts and methods covered throughout the program.

The instructor has more than 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, spanning service, supply, operations, and academia. He began his career as a wireline field engineer before joining an independent exploration and production company as a field engineer, where he managed wellsite drilling, completion, and workover operations. He subsequently advanced to the role of Drilling and Completion Manager, overseeing multiple simultaneous drilling and completion projects across U.S. onshore operations. By the end of his 15-year tenure, he was serving as the company’s Exploration and Production Manager. During this period, the company experienced significant growth, and its E&P division was eventually sold to a major independent operator. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Ocean Engineering from Florida Atlantic University. He is an active member and past Section President of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and holds, or is eligible to hold, the major certifications required for wellsite operations both onshore and offshore.
This course is intended to train senior engineers in the identification, application and implementation of drilling optimization techniques. The intent is that participants in this class should satisfy some of the requirements for Well Engineering, Drilling Fluid Engineering and Well Construction Engineering.
