About the course
This course provides introduction to the Well Test operations, surface and subsurface equipment. The course covers Exploration and Production Well Testing; well cleanup and related production and operational issues. The course gives understanding of final user (Client) requirements to the well testing data. Information quality and acquisition of the pressure and flowrate data are covered. Reservoir Engineering aspects of well test are discussed during design, analysis and interpretation sections.

The course is designed for well test supervisors, operators, field engineers and reservoir engineers who acquire, design, support, analyze well test data.
