Petroleum engineers and other professionals involved in the exploration, production, and evaluation of unconventional resources.

This is a comprehensive course that that focuses on well analysis and reservoir performance of unconventional resources. It offers the practicing reservoir engineer with a full in-depth description of the theory of transient flow analysis. The course will introduce the participants to the latest development decline and type curve analysis for these types of reservoirs.
