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: 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 input for both F.A.S.T. WellTest™ and F.A.S.T. ValiData™
  • Gauge comparison and synchronization in F.A.S.T. ValiData™
  • Time, rate, and pressure editing
  • Filtering data for analysis
  • Entering fluid and reservoir properties
  • Moving around within and between F.A.S.T. WellTest™ and F.A.S.T. ValiData™
  • Introduction to derivative analysis - Identification of flow regimes, such as radial flow, linear flow, etc.
  • Generating a model to match your test data
  • Generating a deliverability forecast based on your model
  • Generating simplified AOF/IPR plots
  • Generating a test design
  • Example files will be used to demonstrate the basic functionality of F.A.S.T. WellTest™ and F.A.S.T. ValiData™
Course Instructors

Mike Miller, B. Sc. M. Sc.
Mike holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Michigan Technological University. Since joining Fekete in February 2000, he has been instrumental in developing and enhancing the WellTest software package. As lead programmer, Mike has been involved in diagnosing and solving numerous complex pressure transient analysis problems. During the course, Mike will demonstrate the software’s capabilities and leave the students with an efficient workflow process.

Steve Ewens, P.Eng.
Steve holds a B.Sc. in Engineering from the University of Calgary. Since joining Fekete in November 2002, he has conducted numerous pressure transient analyses with Fekete’s WellTest group, testing both the software’s functionality and verifying computational results. During the course, Steve will demonstrate the software’s capabilities and leave the students with an efficient workflow process.
