SPE Workshop Webinar
Rate Transient Analysis (RTA)/ Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA)
About the Workshop Webinar

This Webinar focuses on the use of pressure transient analysis (PTA) for short-term pressure data and Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) for the diagnostic interpretation and model-based analyses of long-term production rate and pressure data as a means to characterize the performance of wells in unconventional reservoirs.
This webinar was developed by the SPE Workshop: New Perspectives in Well Performance Analysis and Production Forecasting Program Committee
