Well Test Analysis Using MS-Excel
This self-paced course provides a hands-on approach to well test analysis, teaching you how to perform critical interpretations using MS Excel. It covers essential topics such as diagnostic plots, derivative analysis, and parameter estimation for vertical, horizontal, and hydraulically fractured wells.
Description
Well test analysis is a fundamental skill for determining reservoir properties and assessing well performance. This e-learning program bridges the gap between theory and application by guiding professionals through the creation of Excel-based analysis tools. Participants will explore critical methodologies such as drawdown and buildup analysis, semi-log and log-log diagnostic plots, and pressure derivative calculations. The curriculum emphasizes the step-by-step construction of spreadsheets to interpret complex data from naturally fractured reservoirs, gas condensate fields, and horizontal wells, empowering engineers to perform independent analysis without relying on commercial packages.
To accurately characterize reservoir potential and skin damage, engineers must be able to manipulate and interpret raw pressure data. This course introduces the integrated workflows necessary to validate test data and build manual interpretation models in Excel. By mastering these core calculations, learners will gain the confidence to perform rigorous diagnostic analysis, calculate permeability and skin factors, and evaluate wellbore storage effects using universally available spreadsheet tools.
Participants will learn to perform analytical and graphical well test analysis using Excel, covering diagnostic plots for drawdown and buildup tests. The course enables learners to calculate key reservoir parameters such as permeability, skin factor, and radius of investigation, and to evaluate flow efficiency and productivity indices. Additionally, engineers will acquire the skills to interpret complex scenarios including hydraulically fractured wells, horizontal well IPRs, interference testing, and pulse testing for reservoir connectivity.
This is a self-paced e-learning program designed to provide a deep understanding of applied well test analysis through calculation-based case studies. The methodology focuses on the manual construction of Excel spreadsheets to solve engineering problems, providing downloadable templates and exercises that allow professionals to build their own toolkit of analytical solutions.
Organizations will benefit from engineering teams that possess a transparent, first-principles understanding of well test interpretation. By equipping staff with the ability to build and verify their own Excel models, companies can reduce reliance on external tools for routine analysis, improve the speed of quick-look evaluations, and ensure that asset management decisions are based on a solid understanding of the underlying data.
You will gain advanced technical competence in practical well test analysis, mastering the ability to translate raw pressure data into actionable reservoir insights. This training enhances your analytical skills in key areas such as derivative analysis, gas well testing, and boundary detection, empowering you to independently verify results and solve complex interpretation challenges using MS Excel.
