Course Description
This practical and 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 troubleshooting -
well testing artificial lift. It covers the inflow-outflow and
IPR curve of well performance; the formation and fluid
characterization, PVT and sampling; the reservoirs
description and driving mechanisms; the need of well
testing, the principles of well testing and well testing
processes; testing exploration wells and appraisal wells;
and the drill stem testing, objectives, tools, principles of
operations, types of DST’s and job design principles.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the
testing producing wells and opportunistic testing; the
well test program design; the key parameters for
successful well testing and real time techonology in well
testing; the early production testing; the well test
interpretation and theories behind well test
interpretation; the common tools required for test
interpretation; observing from various plots and
pressure transient analysis; the testing surface and
down hole data acquisition; the open hole and cased
hole sampling, methods of sampling, sample transfer,
types of samplers and carriers; and the surface well
testing operations, safety concerns, operations and job
design.
