Course Description
This is an advanced course reviewing state-of-the-art topics in well test interpretation and wireline formation testing. In the case of well
testing the main issues which will be covered relate to fractured and layered reservoirs. It will be demonstrated that dual porosity behavior
is never seen in carbonate reservoirs and the actual form of derivative diagnostics conform to different models of the system where linear
and radial composite flow occur. In the case of layered reservoirs the importance of production logging is emphasised and the integration
of petrophysical and core analysis data is emphasised. Finally the question of reserve estimation from well testing is covered in detail.

In the case of wireline formation testing (WFT) the familiar problem of supercharging is revisited in the light of modern invasion
models and a new form of correction is introduced. For the new generation WFT devices the mini-DST is considered in detail and
its limitations are assessed particularly with regard to the prediction of well deliverability. Injection-falloff tests are a new topic
which has particular importance in assessing the effect of stress on permeability and some results from CBM wells are discussed.
Finally the application of new generation WFT devices in thin bed (low resistivity, low contrast) reservoirs is treated.

About Your Course Instructor

Professor George Stewart was a founding member of the Petroleum Engineering Department at Heriot-Watt in
1975 and was the second Head of Department in 1982-87. He also was a founder of EPS Ltd and was Chairman
from 1987-2004. In 1976 he was Visiting Professor at the University of Texas at Austin and from 1978-1982
Senior Reservoir Engineer with Schlumberger where he specialised in Wireline Formation Testing. He has
published many papers on well and formation testing and deliveres courses throughout the world. Currently
he is Chief Reservoir Engineer for Weatherford Petroleum Consulting and Professor at Heriot-Watt. Recently he
has authored two textbooks published by Pennwell: “Well Test Design and Analysis” and “Wireline Formation
Testing and Well Deliverability”.

CEUs
Engineers are responsible for enhancing their professional competence throughout their careers. Licensed, chartered, and/or certified
engineers are sometimes required by government entities to provide proof of continued professional development and training. Training
credits are defined as Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or Professional Development Hours (PDHs).

Attendees of SPE training courses earn 0.8 CEUs for each day of training. We provide each attendee a certificate upon completion of the
training course.
