SC 03: Multiphase RTA for Tight Unconventionals (SPE)

Monday, 12 June 2023, 9:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. | Denver, Colorado

Course Content

Who Should Attend

Petroleum engineers, managers and geoscientists who would like to learn RTA in a practical and hands-on way.

Why Attend

This course outlines limitations in traditional RTA analysis, and goes through three new technologies that has been introduced the past few years to help enhance our understanding of tight unconventionals, namely (1) Numerical RTA (2) multiphase flowing material balance (FMB) and (3) Fractional RTA.

Course Content

Two common goals of Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) are the quantification of early time well performance using the Linear Flow Parameter (LFP), as well as the contacted pore volume being drained (e.g. OOIP and OGIP). These two parameters are essential for understanding the effects of completions, geology, and depletion which then advises different strategies for optimizing the economics of future development.

We’ll cover the following topics in the course:

RTA inputs
Production data
PVT
Bottomhole pressures
RTA What’s New?
Multiphase Flowing Material Balance (FMB)
Analytical & Numerical RTA
Classical vs. Fractional RTA
Numerical reservoir simulation/modeling
Example Cases & Exercises
