RESERVOIR ENGINEERING III (PET 502)

COURSE OVERVIEW

This Course “RESERVOIR ENGINEERING III” is aimed at providing the learners the basic knowledge of Well Test, its Objectives, Types and Equipment. We would begin this course with a simple Pre-Introductory quiz, and then we will go into the course proper. We shall look into: An Introductory session and then The Objectives of well test: Reservoir evaluation, Reservoir management, Reservoir description. Later on, The types of well test: Drawdown Test, Buildup Test, Injection Test, Falloff Test, Interference Test, Drill Stem Test (DST)  then we’ll look at Well Test Equipment: Formation Tester (FT), Repeat Formation Tester (RFT), Modular Formation Dynamics Tester (MDT), Drill Stem Test (DST) & Surface Test Equipment. On the next section, we will be discussing about Well Test Principles: Introduction, Darcy;s law, Compressibility, Diffusion equation and various ways to solve diffusivity equation. Conventional Interpretation Methods: Drawdown Test, Interpretation.
