Description
The benefit of this course is triple. First amont the upcoming categories of courses (Advanced,Theoretical, and Applied) this one is Applied. Second, it is based and built upon a real Case Study.Third, it applies to an increasingly important part of the hydrocarbon reserves , unconventional reserves in this case Tight Gas.
Key Points:
Case Study:Re-interpretation of Well test results in Tight Gas sandstone for an Exploration project.
Detailed analysis of Flow periods in DST (Tight formation,Low reservoir pressure)
Review of DST characteristics on specific Tight gas fields.
Preliminary Resources:
Read the following Context Explanation:
The course shows typical real life examples of elements to understand and solve based on a typical Exploration project of a field renamed ''ALPHA'' and located in North-Africa. The field is a Tight gas field , and the formations are Devonian formations with permeabilities between 200-300 mD, and Ordovician formations with heavily cemented Quartzite sandstones with average permeability ranging from 0,01-0,1-1 to 10mD up to 50 mD.
