This course is designed for engineers and technical individuals who are interested in learning and understanding basic theories of well testing and practices.

This course is designed to provide participants with systematic analysis and design procedures for pressure buildup and flow tests. Applications are focus on determining effective formation permeability, quantify damage or stimulation, and estimating current average drainage area pressure. Gas well testing and horizontal well testing are also included.

Participants are required to bring their laptop computer.
