This course stresses practical application of well test theory to design and interpret pressure transient tests. An integrated approach to well test interpretation is emphasized throughout the course.

Well test analyses that include the first and second derivative of pressure plotted on a semilog scale can help detect radial flow. Plots of pressure data from short transient tests often fail to ...

Offshore well testing validates reservoir deliverability, fluids, and pressure behavior under controlled flow and shut-in, informing completion design, facility sizing, reserves classification, and ...

At-a-Glance: AI is compressing well test cycle-time, automating data QC/interpretation, and improving parameter estimation by fusing physics with machine learning—leading to shorter, safer, ...
