Announcing the upcoming release of the: Pressure Transient Analysis reference series
By Dr. George Stewart, Weatherford International

Volume I: Well Test Design & Analysis
Stewart’s book offers invaluable guidance on all aspects of well-testing and analysis. The volume includes a CD with four additional chapters that offer unique technical insight.

Key features:

• How to perform a variable rate analysis of a test
• Key components of fracture performance verification
• Development of accurate fundamental well models
• Transient testing for both oil and gas wells
• Identifying reservoir parameters
• Production forecasting
• Extensive library of derivative fingerprints
• Relation of pressure transient testing to geology

Volume II: Formation Testing and Well Deliverability: With Complex Reservoir Material Balance
Modern reservoir engineering must accommodate for a complex set of heterogeneous phases contained in the well and petroleum reservoir. Achieving the optimal solution to reservoir problems involves employing sophisticated simulation techniques, executing complex well-completion actions, and following up with constant attention to the changes within a reservoir.

Renowned petroleum engineer George Stewart’s exhaustive explanations include the nuances of radial flow theory, and examples of when to run production logs and when to well test for drawdown in a comingled reservoir.

George Stewart, Ph.D.
Dr. Stewart has more than 35 years of experience in well test analysis and reservoir engineering. He currently serves as technical director, production optimizationat Weatherford International, having joined the company in 2005, and as an adjunct professor of petroleum engineering at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh.

Dr. Stewart founded Edinburgh Petroleum Services (EPS) Ltd.—a provider of consulting services, production engineering and well test analysis software and training to the petroleum industry—in 1984. He remained with EPS until 2004, when the firm was acquired by Weatherford. He has also authored numerous technical papers, spoken at industry conferences and seminars throughout the world, and acted as an independent consultant to several major oil and gas companies. 

Dr. Stewart holds a B.Sc. in chemical engineering from the University of Edinburgh and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Newcastle University.
