Advanced Production Data Analysis And Nodal Analysis
In this course, attendees will learn how to predict theoretical well production rates using well measurements and how to identify constraints that impact performance in the reservoir, completion, and wellbore system. The attendees will also learn how to analyze production data to find permeability, skin factor, and drainage area and to forecast future performance based on historical production trends and known reservoir properties.
