Guest Lecture on Practical Aspects of Wire line Formation Testing and Well Testing
[6th November, 2010, PET-1 Hall, Heritage Building, ISM]
Speaker: Mr. Vikas Kumar
Mr. Vikas Kumar is an esteemed alumnus of ISM Dhanbad working for one of the top-notch service providers, Schlumberger as Testing Reservoir Engineer. It was attended by around 120 students. His presentation was very well chalked out and it proved to be highly beneficial for the students of petroleum engineering as it gave them an insight into the working of various tools possessed by Schlumberger. He also showed some animated videos which helped the students in better understand the working of the tools.
Finally, he introduced the software “Saphir” which is used to graphically map the well tests. The plots of Pressure vs. Time and GOR vs. Time could be generated which would help in monitoring the well tests over a period of 48 hours. He also gave some students a chance to run the software on their own so that they could get familiarized with its workings.
Since, the lecture was highly technical and required in depth understanding, he made sure that students could grasp the basic concepts and match his pace. He was in the constant lookout for doubts and was very cooperative with the students.
