The optimum production of a reservoir is the goal of every operator in the oil and gas industry. The completion
of the well plays a vital role in accomplishing this goal, since it is the operator's only way of communicating
with the reservoir. Choosing an effective completion may be difficult, but informed decisions leading to the
implementation of the completion can offer a better chance of success.
This study includes a summary of completion techniques and well testing methods available. The testing and analysis
of a well is shown and the sometimes difficult task of interpreting the data is shown. Also, an actual well
completion is described using some of the parameters from well test data.
