SC-01 Unconventional Reservoir Production (Rate-Transient) Analysis

Saturday, 15 June – Sunday, 16 June 2024, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. | Houston, Texas

Course Content

This two-day course introduces a workflow and reviews methods for performing quantitative rate-transient analysis of fractured vertical and multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs), produced from unconventional (low-permeability) gas and light oil reservoirs, including shales. State-of-the-art methods to account for unconventional reservoir complexities, such as multi-phase flow and stress-dependent permeability, are introduced, and their application is demonstrated using field examples. Techniques for analysis of both long-term (online) production and short-term (flowback) data are discussed.

Upon completion of this course, participants should:

Recognize typical flow-regimes observed for MFHWs completed in unconventional reservoirs, and understand how to identify them using diagnostic plots
Understand the origin of some important RTA models used to analyze unconventional reservoirs
Understand how to correct for variable operating conditions and fluid properties
Be conversant with straight-line (flow regime analysis) and type-curve methods, and how they are used to derive fracture/reservoir properties and fluid in place
Be familiar with how unconventional reservoir properties may be incorporated into RTA models
Be conversant with a rigorous workflow for the analysis of unconventional reservoir production data

Unconventional gas reserves are transforming energy outlooks around the world. This course is a must for those who require background in the latest techniques.

The course is designed for:

Engineers, geologists, and managers in industry or academia involved in developing or evaluating unconventional gas reserves will benefit from a background in the latest techniques for production analysis of unconventional reservoirs.

Important notes regarding short courses:

Short courses are limited in size and are reserved on a first come, first served basis and must be accompanied by full payment.
If you do not plan to attend URTeC, a $35 enrollment fee will be added to the short course fee upon registering. This fee can be applied to a full-conference registration should you change your mind later.
A wait list is automatically created when a short course sells out. You will be notified if you are on a wait list and space becomes available.
Before purchasing non-refundable airline tickets, confirm the short course will take place as some may be cancelled if undersubscribed.
Please register well before 6 May 2024 to help guarantee your spot. Short course cancellations will be considered at this time — no refunds will be accepted for cancellations after this date.
Registrations will continue to be processed for short courses that are not cancelled up until they are sold out or closed.
