Well Testing - Technology, Operations, Sampling, and Reservoir Characterisation in the Current Price Environment

Well testing provides key data for well and reservoir performance, fluid properties, and reserves determination. This is achieved by acquiring downhole and/or surface pressure, temperature flow rate data, and fluid samples, using specialised test equipment. Since pressure transient measurements reflect the in-situ dynamic reservoir properties under realistic production conditions, they offer essential insight into the well’s productivity, the formation’s transmissibility, and the field’s heterogeneities and geometry.
