The Ecrin Dynamic Data Analysis suite handles the most complex full field massive pressure and rate data down to the simplest single well, single rate case, and everything in between. This software course is designed to teach, hands-on, the functionality of the full suite. The purpose is also to teach the interconnectivity of the modules and how a result from one analysis can be used and compared in complementary techniques.

As the logic of the software is coherent between the modules, by the time the attendees get to 3D, 3-phase history modeling in Rubis they will be able to build much of it intuitively as the knowledge compounds as the training progresses.

In addition to classical data load, editing and processing the course will cover the handling of massive data from PDG in the Diamant interface including wavelet data reduction, automatic multiple build-up selection, rate correction/allocation and versus time monitoring.

Selected data is then processed in Saphir for PTA and Topaze for PA using classical analytical modeling. Object sharing, data management and the time-saving drag and drop workflow is emphasized. Modeling will then move to construction of the voronoi model in 2D, 2D with 3D local refinement at the wellbore and then to 3D multiwell, multiphase in Topaze and Rubis history matching. During this process grid upscaling and sector interconnectivity between modules will be practiced.

To represent cases where corrections to sandface and wellbore optimization is required the WPA module, Amethyste will be used linked to Saphir, Topaze and Rubis.

Prior knowledge of the software is not required but if you have never used it before, as a primer, we would be happy to give you a full working demo version with examples prior to attending. It is, however, very important to understand that this is a software course only. Theory is only touched upon. It is essential you are conversant with transient analysis. If the shape of a build-up log-log and derivative plot means nothing to you this is not the course for you.
