Well Test Interpretation
Course duration – 3 or 5 days

This course is aimed at anyone who has to plan or analyze well tests, or to make use of well test
data, from experienced field engineers to reservoir/petroleum engineers and sub-‐surface and
production team members.

This is not a traditional Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) course. PTA concepts are introduced
and the basics of well test analysis are comprehensively covered, but the focus of the course is on
how to make sense of all aspects of well test data, how to understand what is going on in the well
(as well as the reservoir) during a well test, and on how to plan and design the test in order to
meet its objectives.

This course is facilitated by a well known well test interpretation engineer with over 35 years
experience, who is still active in well operations and who has a diverse range of well test
experience.

Course reference material is provided.

Topics
Reservoir concepts and terminology
Reservoir & fluid properties
Well test objectives and how the results are used
Well test interpretation concepts: wellbore storage, skin,
permeability, the Bourdet derivative

Data quality control – surface and downhole
Well models – what goes on on downhole during a well test
Surface well test modeling & simulation

Well test interpretation: workflow, how to interpret
permeability, skin and near-‐well boundaries
Gas well testing
Injection well testing
Well test design
Evaluation of commingled wells

The formal course material is interspersed with numerous case studies and operational and
interpretation examples drawn from the instructor’s extensive worldwide experience. Hands-‐on
analysis by attendees can be included. In this case the course duration should be extended to 4
or 5 days.
