Well

Test Design and Analysis -


WTA

Discipline: Reservoir Engineering


Level: Foundation
Duration: 5 days
Instructor(s): Rosalind Archer, Iskander Diyashev, John Spivey

This course stresses practical application of well test theory to design and interpret
pressure transient tests. An integrated approach to well test interpretation is emphasized
throughout the course. Class exercises involving hand calculations and simple
spreadsheet applications will reinforce the concepts illustrated by both synthetic data sets
and real field examples. Participants will be able to apply the knowledge and skills they
gain in this course to their job assignments upon course completion. One personal
computer is provided, at additional cost, for each two participants.

Designed For:
Engineers and geoscientists who want to understand well testing principles and
interpretation techniques to design, analyze, report, evaluate results or intelligently
participate in the well testing process. Previous experience in production and/or reservoir
engineering is recommended. Previous experience in well testing is helpful but is not
required.

DR. ISKANDER DIYASHEV is a director and a co-founder of Petroleum and Energy


Technology Advisors, Inc., an engineering and consulting firm based in Houston, Texas,
focused on drilling, completion and stimulation (www.1penta.com). Prior to that Dr.
Diyashev was an officer and a board member with Independent Resource Development
Corporation, based in Moscow with operations in Western Siberia Russia. Dr. Diyashev
was responsible for the planning of field development, reserves evaluation and addition,
planning of exploration activities, as well as engineering and technology. In 2001-2006 Dr.
Diyashev served as a Chief Engineer for Sibneft, one of the largest integrated oil
companies in Russia with a daily production of 700,000 BOPD.

During his career, Dr. Diyashev worked in R&D, consulting, and the service and
production sides of the business both in Russia and internationally. Prior to his work with
Sibneft, Dr. Diyashev was one of the key Schlumberger specialists to start the horizontal
drilling project in Noyabrsk Western Siberia. He holds a PhD in Petroleum Engineering
from Texas A&M University, and advanced degrees in Physics and Mathematics from
Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. He has authored 30 technical papers. Dr.
Diyashev is a member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, and served on the
Board of Directors of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE International), and on the
boards of various private E&P, service and engineering firms in the petroleum industry.
Twice in his career Dr. Diyashev was elected to serve as a Distinguished Lecturer of the
SPE, in 2005-06, and in 2017-18.

DR. JOHN P. SPIVEY has over 20 years experience in the petroleum industry, with
interests in pressure transient analysis, production data analysis, reservoir engineering,
continuing education, and software development. From 1984 to 1990, he worked for
SoftSearch, Inc. (later Dwights EnergyData) developing petroleum economics and
engineering software. In 1990, he joined S.A. Holditch & Associates (SAH), which was
purchased by Schlumberger (SLB) in 1997. While at SAH/SLB he conducted reservoir
simulation, gas storage, and tight gas application studies and taught industry short
courses in well testing and production data analysis. He actively participated in on-going
development of SABRE, SAH numerical reservoir simulator, and in research in techniques
for production data analysis for gas wells. He also designed and developed PROMAT, an
analytical production data analysis and forecasting program, and WELLTEST, an
interactive pressure transient test analysis program. In 2004, he started his own reservoir
engineering consulting company, Phoenix Reservoir Engineering, and software
development company, Phoenix Reservoir Software, LLC, which provides PMTx, a
software package for analyzing production and production log data and forecasting future
performance for multilayer low permeability reservoirs. Since 1992, he has served as
Visiting Assistant Professor or Adjunct Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University,
teaching undergraduate and graduate classes in gas reservoir engineering and pressure
transient analysis, and serving on several graduate student committees. He is the editor
of the SPE Reprint Series Vol. 52, Gas Reservoir Engineering, and Vol. 57, Pressure
Transient Testing, and coauthor of SPE Textbook Series Vol. 9, Pressure Transient
Testing and has published numerous papers and articles in industry journals and trade
publications. He received a BS Physics from Abilene Christian University, a MS in Physics
from the University of Washington, a PhD in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M
University, and is a registered professional engineer in the state of Texas.
