WTA Services

Well Test Analysis (WTA) & Engineering Services began engineering and consulting services in November 2005. The principal, Jean Beriault has about fourteen years of proven successful and related experience and knowledge, which has been developed in the areas of ERCB well test compliance (related to the Well Test Capture system), well test analyses (PTA & DFIT/Mini-frac), determination of well performance and reservoir studies.  WTA Services is in association with Introspec Energy Group Inc. (I.E.G.), Petroleum Consultants with respect to the Well Completions & Frac Database (WCFD).

We do the "homework" and determine if your well has potential for increased productivity. Direct your company's investments on wells that have potential and re-evaluate the effectiveness of these stimulated/re-completed wells. Clients have testified where pressure transient tests were analyzed by WTA Services, in which some indicated potential for increased production through stimulation. These wells were stimulated as suggested by WTA Services and production increased 2 to 3 times, essentially close to pressure transient analysis (PTA) results. Another client has indicated increased production of about 8 times, again near PTA results.

Understanding the demands of characterizing unconventional reservoirs, Jean Beriault, principal, welcomes the opportunity to work with the E&P sector as well as the service sector with overflow work on diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT) analyses or also known as mini-frac analyses, whether remotely or in-house.

 Consulting services include the following:

• Pressure transient analysis (PTA - Buildups, Falloffs, Drawdowns, DSTs) via conventional methods and simulation using Fekete software
• DFITs/Minifrac/Afterclosure analysis using Fekete software
• Determine reservoir pressure, oil well productivity, gas well AOF and deliverability, fluid flow characteristics / reservoir permeability, completion effectiveness and boundaries / anomalies via PTA
• Determine initial reservoir pressure, fracture closure pressure & gradient, instantaneous shut-in, leakoff, 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 buildup / 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 survey
• Assist in finalizing company standard reports
• Assist in preparing data for company standard analysis
