Pressure Transient Analysis
This self-paced course provides extensive practical knowledge in well test design and analysis, focused on evaluating well productivity and reservoir parameters. It covers the complete workflow from data QA/QC and diagnostic plot analysis to the interpretation of complex flow regimes and reservoir boundaries.
Description
Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) is the diagnostic heart of reservoir engineering, involving the interpretation of pressure responses to quantify reservoir properties. This e-learning program guides professionals through the theoretical and analytical frameworks required to decode these signals. Participants will explore the Diffusivity Equation, the principle of superposition, and advanced diagnostic techniques such as the Bourdet Derivative. The curriculum covers a wide range of scenarios, including homogeneous and heterogeneous reservoirs, hydraulically fractured wells, and complex boundary conditions, enabling learners to manually interpret well tests and forecast future performance without relying on "black box" automated tools.
To optimize production and maximize recovery, engineers must accurately characterize the reservoir and identify near-wellbore damage. This course introduces the rigorous workflows necessary to interpret pressure transient data, providing deep insights into permeability, skin factor, and reservoir connectivity. By mastering flow regime identification and type curve matching, learners will gain the skills to distinguish between wellbore effects, reservoir behavior, and boundary limits
Participants will learn to design and interpret various well tests by mastering the Diffusivity Equation and applying diagnostic tools like the Log-Log plot and Pressure Derivative . The course enables learners to perform rigorous data QA/QC, identify flow regimes, and characterize wellbore storage and skin effects . Additionally, engineers will acquire the skills to evaluate complex well geometries (horizontal, fractured) and reservoir heterogeneities (dual porosity, composite systems), ultimately determining reservoir size and boundary conditions through analytical modeling techniques.
This is a self-paced e-learning program designed to provide a deep understanding of pressure transient theory through theoretical lectures and analytical case studies. The methodology focuses on the fundamental principles, manual calculation workflows, and diagnostic interpretation techniques, allowing professionals to master the physics of well testing and data validation.
Organizations will benefit from engineering teams capable of accurately diagnosing well performance and reservoir health, leading to optimized stimulation treatments and better field development strategies. By applying rigorous analytical interpretation methods, companies can reduce uncertainty in reservoir description, identify connectivity issues early, and ensure that asset management decisions are based on validated, high-quality pressure data.
You will gain advanced technical competence in well test interpretation, mastering the ability to analyze complex pressure responses and identify reservoir characteristics. This training enhances your analytical skills in key areas such as flow regime recognition, derivative analysis, and boundary detection, empowering you to confidently design tests and evaluate well productivity in diverse reservoir environments.
