Course description
Well Performance and Nodal Analysis Fundamentals
This skill module explains the key principles in analyzing well performance parameters of any production (or injection) well using the principles and practices of NODAL™ analysis, also referenced as system analysis. Inflow and outflow equations are developed, multiphase hydraulics are reviewed, the building blocks of NODAL™ analysis are expanded, and several exercises are worked.

Training content
You will learn how to
- Collect and validate required data to evaluate well performance using computer modeling, performance history matching and predict potential problems
- Calculate productivity index and estimate basic reservoir parameters by interpreting a simple pressure buildup analysis in conventional and unconventional resources plays
