Well Testing is sets of planned activities to
enable us establish the properties and characteristics of a well behavior
through data acquisition. Production/Injection well testing is a routine
activity in the oil and gas industry and is key in effective monitoring or
health-check of the state of our wells. Since this activity is routine based,
we constantly loose sight of the essentials of a quality well test especially
in good data acquisition practice, overtime.
It is instructive to note, that almost all the
decisions about any well performance both in the field and at the support team
from office will largely depend on the robustness of the acquired data during
these production well test operations.
Some of the challenges of an effective well
test campaign is that key elements for a good well test campaign are not
highlighted to the team especially the field operators. This course will
highlight these essentials and proffer an improvement system as well as a
sustainable process for a high performing team in well test design and
execution. To close the loop, a basic introduction to well test interpretation
will be provided. This will ensure those acquiring the data at the field are in
sync with the office support staff in terms of efficient well test execution
and objectives alignment.
This training course will feature:
Overview of Surface Production Well Testing
Business Process for Well testing design and
Execution – Challenges & solutions
Managing well testing operation in deep-water
environment
Well test data acquisition, verification and
validation process
Importance of team alignment (especially within
the domain experts) for good well tests campaign
