This course provides students with an understanding of the fundamentals of well fluids and reservoir testing and the implications for reservoir characterisation and field development. The theory of reservoir pressure testing is introduced, testing methods examined and some of the standard analysis techniques are explored using both “hand calculations” and industry standard software. Concept of de-convolution will be introduced and well test interpretation of unconventional reservoir will be discussed.

The course examines the fundamental principles that govern the behaviour of reservoir fluids and their response to reservoir features. Sampling and testing methods are presented together with techniques of data analysis determination of relevant properties. The theory of reservoir pressure testing is introduced, testing methods examined and some of the standard analysis techniques explored, using both “hand calculations” and industry standard software.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
1 three-hour written examination paper (80%), continuous assessment (20%).
The continuous assessment will be based on the simulation of a well test using industry standard software.
Resit: 1 three-hour written examination paper (80%) and the continuous assessment mark from the first attempt (20%).
There are no assessments for this course.
