About Course

This microlearning course introduces the fundamentals of well testing, the practice of measuring pressure and flow rate data to learn about a well and the reservoir it produces from. Learners will explore common types of well tests, what a pressure buildup test involves, and how well test data supports reservoir and production decisions. Designed for beginners, the course takes approximately 10-13 minutes to complete.

  • Explain the general purpose of well testing
  • Distinguish between a production test and a pressure transient test
  • Describe what happens during a pressure buildup test
  • Define the general concept of skin factor
  • Identify what reservoir characteristics well testing can help estimate
  • Recognize how well test data supports production and reservoir decisions
