COURSE OVERVIEW

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.
