      • Average client rating (based on 113 attendee reviews)

    This course provides a practical, end-to-end grounding in production metering and well testing so participants can execute tests safely, capture defensible data, and interpret results for operations decisions. You will learn the principles behind the main measurement technologies used in production systems (flow, level, water cut), how to select and apply them, and how to plan and run production well tests—from HSE preparation through data capture, validation, and handover—at the wellsite and flow station. Emphasis is placed on correct test procedures, sampling, device operation, and documentation to meet good-industry practice and relevant API guidance.
