Course Description

This hands-on, highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of well testing and production optimization operations. It covers the production optimization and production system; the inflow-outflow and IPR curve of well performance; the inflow and outflow performance relationships; the formation and fluid characterization; the PVT and sampling, liquid loading in gas wells and selection of design parameters based on field measurements; the need for and selection for artificial lift methods; the real time oil or gas field optimization network optimization; and the need of well testing. Further, this course will also discuss the principles of well testing and well testing processes; the testing exploration wells and appraisal wells; the drill stem testing, objectives, tools, principles of operations, types of DST?s and job design principles; and the testing of producing wells, opportunistic testing and well test program design.During this interactive course, participants will learn the key parameters for successful well testing and real time techonology in well testing; the early production testing and well test interpretation; the theories behind well test interpretation; the common tools required for test interpretation; the best practice in well test interpretation; the observation of various plots; the pressure transient analysis, testing surface and down hole data acquisition; the open hole and cased hole sampling, methods of sampling, sample transfer, types of samplers and carriers; the surface well testing operation, safety concerns, operations and job design; and the new development of well testing and production optimization.
