This course provides an introduction to the EPS well test (pressure transient test) interpretation software, and covers PanSystem (analytical models) software. At the end of the course, the student will be capable of: importing raw sensor data; preparing data for analysis; using all the analytical methods, selecting an appropriate reservoir model; ascertaining reservoir parameters for the model; and generating a simulated response to compare with actual data.
Course Description:
The course focuses on training in use of the software, not on the underlying engineering concepts. It is therefore important that attendees have at least a basic knowledge of well test analysis techniques and methods. The main topics will be covered with a brief refresher on the underlying principles. The course is designed for engineers who intend to use PanSystem software to analyze and design well tests.
Attendees will become familiar with PanSystem software by using the software on a series of worked examples, covering data preparation, basic analysis and a set of the most common well and reservoir analysis models.
Course Contents:
The following summarizes the main subjects to be covered during the course:
Data Preparation Through to Analysis

Additional Information:
Except for the Edinburgh location, attendees need to bring own laptop with local administrator's privileges to install the PanSystem software.
