This NEW 3 day course examines the fundamentals of well test interpretation for oil and gas wells. It covers the analysis of tests in vertical and horizontal wells: drillstem tests, wireline formation tests, flow/build-up tests, injection/fall-off tests interference/pulse test. The practice of well test interpretation will be emphasized along with the theory. To this end, Data Validation and the PPD (Primary Pressure Derivative) will be used to illustrate Wellbore Dynamics, and extricate these effects from the reservoir response.

The concepts will be presented graphically (using a computer), thus keeping equations to a minimum.
