Testimonials

  • “Everything PTA – the course jumped into good information right away on day 1. Most courses have a “boring” or “too easy” day on the first day and spend too much time on math derivations – this course DID NOT do this. This is one of the best course formats I have attended”
  • “This course was fantastic. I really learned a lot and enjoyed the course.  Thanks Saad, you are a great teacher and can explain the concepts really well”
  • “Saad is a very knowledgeable instructor. He covered both the theory and the practical concepts of PTA very well.  Excellent course handouts and well organized.”
  • “The instructor did a very good job covering the fundamentals of well testing and then on to different types of well testing applications and to finish with examples. Very well done.”
  • “Provided many well test examples/case studies using real data from the industry. Focus on things/materials that the class needed to know.”
  • The course more than met my expectations. I truly needed a refresher and appreciated that it taught first the principles, rather than “point” and “click” using a software.
  • “I enjoyed the class problems, which helped to solidify what we have learned. Also, the practical examples of the data quality issues and how to recognize operational problems, was most useful”.
  • The going through the process (step-by-step) on how to analyze actual well tests; provided by the class attendees, using both the “Fekete” and Kappa” software, was most useful”.

  • “I won’t usually give a 10 to any one course because I feel every course can be improved, however the value I received from this course was money well spent – a rating of 10 is justified. Saad Ibrahim is a gifted instructor and presenter, every section was clearly explained and his use of actual events that took place to underline points was fun and interesting to listen to. The content of the material was thorough and easy to follow and the course examples were very doable. Highly Recommended.”
  • “I really enjoyed the course and I’m sure I will be able to use a lot of them in my work. According to my opinion it was an interesting and a very comprehensive course with an excellent instructor”
  • “I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Your insight & experience in all the subjects was invaluable.”
  • “Everything was covered and explained good, the instructor was very good and I would recommend this course with Instructor Saad Ibrahim to any one who would like to understand Reservoir”
  • “The two instructors-Ibrahim and Hough- were fantastic. I was thrilled that every moment was worth my time and I came away far knowledgeable than how I entered”
  • “Personally, this was one of the best training courses that I’ve taken over the last number of years working in the oil & gas industry. The delivery of the course material by both instructors was excellent. I would definitely recommend this course to others.”
  • “Very well organized and the instructors both are experts in their field with great real life examples. One of the best course I’ve ever taken.”

  • “Excellent course, certainly met my expectations and more. I enjoyed the section on Hz well testing and specifically, the examples of various Shale gas plays were very useful.  Also, I liked the examples on design optimization of Multi-stage frac.
  • “The drilling section was very useful for me, it was great to hear Roger’s varied experience across the globe in different operating conditions. Great course!”
  • “It was a good course, as it covered many areas of Hz wells from planning to reservoir, drilling and the various completion techniques.”
  • “The style of the 2 instructors was fantastic…I enjoyed the practical examples from Western Canadian Basin; including formations such as: the Montney, Horn River, Doing, Pekisko, and the Bakken”
  • “The use of numerical modeling (Topaze software) to optimize the number of frac stages, the size of frac treatments, and how to take advantages of the sweet spots when placing the frac stages, was extremely beneficial.”
  • “The use of video clips and good coloured graphics, made easy to understand complex concepts and it is entertaining as well.…
  • “Introduction of new technology in well completion, as as expandable liners is important. Very good instructors, willing to answer/accept questions.”
  • “I greatly benefited from the materials on how to evaluate wells performance of unconventional reservoirs, including the benefits the Mini frac. Also, I enjoyed learning about and production analysis techniques: Blasingame type curves, flowing material balance, and more…”
  • “I learned new well test analysis techniques that will guide me on how improve well completion and flowback analysis after fracing.”

  • “I want to thank both of you for the PE course for non-engineers last week in Houston. You both did a great job. I think I learned more in one week than any week of my life. That includes numerous continuing education courses in the past, army training, and engineering school at Texas A&M. It was fascinating!”
  • “Most of the sections were delivered very well, the instructor is second to none, excellent opportunity for debate, he used media (videos) to successfully deliver information”
  • “The entire course was excellent and provided what I needed from the seminar. Each section was delivered in a manner that anyone with limited experience could understand”
