Geopressured Gas Systems Conventional and modern techniques for analyzing various types of pressure tests in gas wells, including flow tests and buildup tests. Interpretation of pressure tests of hydraulically fractured gas wells will also be discussed in great details. Participants are encouraged to bring to class actual pressure tests for analysis. Practical uses of methods for predicting the flowing pressure behavior in gas wells, including determining bottom-hole pressure from surface measurements and evaluating gas-well production performance. Gas deliverability testing and decline-curve analysis of gas wells. Performance of Horizontal Wells in Gas Reservoirs Unconventional Shale-Gas Reservoirs Videos and Daily Excel-based class exercises will reinforce the concepts covered in class. Participants are required to bring a personal computer to work exercises. BENEFITS OF THE COURSE At the end of this course, the participants will be able to do the following: Apply analysis techniques for calculating gas in place and gas reserves based on volumetric and material balance equations. Evaluate gas condensate reservoirs and optimize liquid recovery Understand the theory and applications of pressure and pressure derivative; use a new technique, called TDS, for analyzing drawdown and buildup tests in gas wells; and analyze pressure tests of hydraulically fractured gas wells. Evaluate and forecast gas-well production performance. Use modern techniques to analyze decline curves, e.g. Universal Decline Curve Fitting Equation Evaluate unconventional gas reservoirs with emphasis on shale-gas reservoirs Assess performance of pre- and post-frac horizontal gas wells Apply the knowledge and skills in their job assignments upon course completion.
