F.A.S.T. WellTest™ Training Course

Who Should Attend: The F.A.S.T. WellTest™ software course is designed for both junior and senior technical personnel. It is assumed that participants have a working knowledge of pressure transient analysis concepts.

General Notes: For your convenience we have aligned the dates of our F.A.S.T. WellTest™ and Unconventional Pressure Transient Workshop so they can be taken consecutively. Clients registering in two of these courses will receive a $100 discount.

1 Day Course. Basic Windows navigation skills are recommended prior to attending.

Course Description

F.A.S.T. WellTest™ is an advanced pressure transient analysis program that allows the user to interpret reservoir flow characteristics and to predict future production based on well test analysis results. In this course, participants will be introduced to standard procedures for entering data and performing routine analysis.

Course Topics

Data importing
Gauge comparison and synchronization
Time, rate, and pressure editing
Filtering data for analysis
Entering fluid (PVT) and reservoir properties
Converting pressures from wellhead to sandface
Introduction to diagnostic analysis (flow regime identification)
Introduction to data modeling (history matching)
Generating a deliverability forecast based on your model
Generating simplified AOF/IPR plots
Creating a test design (hypothetical) model
Creating PAS (Pressure ASCII Standard) files
Generating and customizing reports
