This webinar equips petroleum engineers with practical Python skills to generate Gringarten type curves for Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA), transforming theoretical reservoir concepts into actionable code. Participants will review the diffusivity equation, explore its analytical solutions, master dimensionless parameters, and implement Python scripts for log-log type curve plotting—essential for estimating permeability, skin factor, and reservoir boundaries from well test data.​


Ideal for reservoir and production engineers seeking data-driven PTA workflows, the session leverages NumPy, Matplotlib, and hydraulic modeling principles to analyze performance data efficiently. Attendees leave with reusable code templates and real-world applications from field operations.

Webinar Objectives

Review of the Diffusivity equation


Solutions to the Diffusivity equation


Dimensionless parameters


Type curves creation using python code
