Course Description
This course covers the fundamental principles and concepts required for analysis and interpretation of oil and gas well tests. Different well tests, practical applications and limitations are discussed. Practical utilization of well test results for reservoir characterization, property evaluation, performance prediction and field development planning are described.

Case studies and class exercises will be discussed.

Participants are expected to bring their calculator or laptop for course exercises.

A complete set of course materials and lunch is included in this course.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for:

Engineers, Geologists, PetroPhysicists, Geophysicists, managers, analysts, technicians and individual involved in well test design and analysis, reservoir characterization, well and reservoir properties evaluation, field development and those who need to utilize well test reports and results.

Davood Khairkhah, Ph.D., P.Eng.
Graduated with M.S and Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering from The University of Southern California, Dr. Khairkhah has over 30 years of experience working and teaching in Canada and internationally, in the oil & gas industry and universities, including the University of Calgary and the University of Southern California. He has presented courses in the areas of sensors and smart wells/reservoirs, production engineering, reservoir engineering, reservoir modeling, underground gas storage, fractured reservoirs, well testing, EOR methods, water flooding, and natural gas transmission and processing. His courses have been attended by technical and non-technical participants, ranging from young professionals to senior management.

Industrial projects include field development planning, reservoir characterization, integrated reservoir study, reservoir simulation, water and gas injection in oil reservoirs, horizontal well, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, reserve analysis, well test design and analysis for conventional and unconventional reservoirs, gas storage development and performance analysis, PVT and core analysis, and gas production from gas hydrate reservoirs.
