Pumping Tests Course (June-July 2025)

Description

The objective of this online course is to review the basic concepts of well hydraulics and present traditional and emerging methodologies for their interpretation, with special emphasis on practical applications.

Specifically, in addition to the traditional fundamental concepts, we review diagnostic graphs, recent developments on the calculation of smooth log-derivatives and Agarwal and Trabucchi’s methods for the analysis of recovery tests. These developments suggest an alternative methodology to improve the performance and interpretation of hydraulic tests (GHS_BCN method), which emphasizes the importance of recovery data and careful measurement of pumping rate.

The course will include a brief overview of well construction technologies, assistance with hands-on exercises and assignment with related discussion.

The course will take place online on June 25 and will end on July 18.
