About the Well Test Design and Analysis Course

Time Training Center's 5-day/30-hour Well Test Design & Analysis course builds strong skills in designing and analysing well tests to evaluate well performance and reservoir characteristics. The curriculum covers various test types and techniques, integrating both analytical and graphical methods for comprehensive data representation.

This Well Test Design and Analysis course focuses on practical application, including diagnostic plots and derivative analysis for drawdown and buildup tests.  You gain key insights into interpreting complex well test data from fractured reservoirs, horizontal wells, and gas or gas-condensate reservoirs.

Through practical examples and real-world case studies, you will learn to build confidence in applying advanced techniques. Achieve the right balance between theory and hands-on skills for immediate application in your professional role.

Well Test Design and Analysis Course Objectives

​By the end of this Well Test Design and Analysis training course, participants will be able to:​

• Understand and distinguish between steady state, semi-steady state, and transient well performance and their applications in well test analysis.
• Analyse drawdown and buildup tests using semilog analysis and estimate average reservoir pressure.
• Utilise diagnostic and derivative plots for well test interpretation, including identifying wellbore storage, sealing faults, stratigraphic pinchouts, and late-time boundary effects.
• Apply type curve matching techniques to well test data and recognise the impact of depletion on well test analysis.
• Interpret post-fracture well tests, variable rate analysis methods, and multi-well testing data, with an emphasis on complex reservoir conditions such as horizontal wells and naturally fractured reservoirs.
• Understand well test analysis techniques for gas and gas condensate reservoirs, including modifications for multiphase flow and phase redistribution.
• Design and analyse Drill Stem Tests (DST), interference tests, and reservoir limit tests, and understand the step-by-step procedure for well test design.
