Distinguished Lecture Series - "Conventional & Unconventional Reservoirs; What is In & Out in Today’s Pressure and Rate Transient Analysis" SPE WA is proud is bring you Medhat (Med) Kamal to discuss the ever relevant Pressure and Rate Transient Analysis. Transient data is rich in information about the dynamic characteristics of the well/reservoir system. It has been used extensively by petroleum engineers since the 1920’s. Sustained development in this area is necessitated by three factors: (1) Changes in the types of reservoirs we produce (e.g. conventional, unconventional) and their stages of recovery (e.g., primary, secondary), (2) New tools (e.g. formation testers, permanent downhole gauges), and (3) Advances in solution techniques…
