This course provides a clear understanding of the primary objective of Surface and down hole well testing. It covers how to assess well productivity by measuring the gas, oil and water flow rates from the well under controlled production conditions. Also, the candidates will gain an understanding of the safe handling of the produced effluents (solids, liquids and gases) at high pressures and temperatures, Which is a key objective and concern within the well testing operations, this will be achieved by design of equipment and operations including safety margins and protective equipment to guarantee the safety of people and integrity of the involved facilities and the environment. The course will also include an introduction to well testing equipment and instrumentation, to control, condition, monitor, and measure and sample the fluids that are produced from the reservoir during the production testing process. The course contains an introduction to Well Testing equipment and instrumentation. It will help you control, condition, monitor, measure and sample the fluids that are produced from the reservoir during the production testing process.
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
• Well testing general introduction
