WTA Services


Well Test Analysis (WTA) & Engineering Services began engineering and consulting services in November 2005. The principal, Jean Beriault is a professional Petroleum Engineer with industry experience & knowledge, developed in the areas of AER well test compliance (related to the Well Test Capture system), well test analyses (PTA, RTA & DFIT/Mini-frac), determination of well performance & reservoir characterization & studies. Through her involvement in the successful Canadian industry Well Completion & Frac Database, she has significant knowledge of multi-stage hydraulically fractured horizontal completions. Jean’s experiences in conventional and unconventional oil & gas reservoirs have taken her to numerous plays in the U.S., South America (Columbia), Australia, Poland, Egypt, Mongolia (South Gobi Basin), Laos (Savannakhét), Turkey (Bekirler) and the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB).

Global Consulting services include the following:

  • Pressure transient analysis (PTA - Buildups, Falloffs, Drawdowns, DSTs) via conventional methods and simulation using S&P Global IHS-Markit software. 
  • Rate Transient Analysis (RTA). 
  • DFITs/Minifrac/Afterclosure analysis.
  • Determine reservoir pressure, oil well productivity, gas well AOF and deliverability, fluid flow characteristics / reservoir permeability, completion effectiveness and boundaries / anomalies via PTA.
  • Determine reservoir characteristics, permeability, skin via RTA.
  • Determine initial reservoir pressure, fracture closure pressure & gradient, instantaneous shut-in, leak-off, pore pressure, fluid efficiency, permeability & skin via DFIT analysis (Before & After Closure).
  • Single and multi-shot acoustic well sounder (AWS) calculations and reports.
  • Monitor pressure build-up / fall-off tests via diagnostic plots for sufficient PTA / DFIT analysis.
  • Material balance and volumetric calculations (assess reservoir extent and limits before tie-in).
  • Production forecasting.
  • Critical rate calculations (minimum gas rates to lift liquids).
  • Manage electronic (PAS file) submissions and compliance issues of well tests (related to the Well Test Capture system) and annual pressure surveys in Alberta.
