COURSE DESCRIPTION
|
|
The course provides the students with
basic and applied knowledge in well test analysis. Well
tests are used in identifying and characterizing the fluid,
wellbore and reservoir properties. Basic principles, equations
and methods for well test analysis are introduced.
|
|
OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE
|
|
The main objective of the course is to
acquaint the students with background knowledge in designing
and analyzing the well tests, deriving the fundamental
equations describing the transient fluid flow in porous
media, traditional and modern analysis methods.. The other
objectives are to (a) develop students' ability to apply
integrated knowledge of math and basic sciences to the
solution of problems related to fluid flow and reservoir
performance predictions, (b) provide students with information
needed on well test analysis methods to improve their
quantitative capabilities in solving reservoir engineering
problems.
