Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

(5 days)

For: Engineers and technical managers faced with exploitation of naturally fractured reservoirs

Never again get trapped with faulty predictions because of the influence of natural fracture systems, whether you are testing, flooding or evaluating reserves. You will learn the adjustments necessary to correctly interpret a buildup or drawdown pressure test, including adjustments in test design and the use of special type curves. You learn the differences in multi-rate testing and gas well behavior, including the altered flow behavior and how to detect fracture presence conclusively. You discover principles by solving real world problems.

Emphasis is on practical results, using typical field data, not manufactured data. A balance is maintained between lecture and problem solving and between theory and application.
