Measuring well volumetric flow rate and wellbore pressure in one or few selected wells and interpretation of pressure-rate correlation
The quantitative interpretation is based on pressure diffusion model.
There are different well tests classifications.
One way is to split well tests into two major categories:
Flowmeters | Pressure Analysis |
---|---|
SBT – Separator Bulk Test | DST – Drill Stem Test |
Surface Multiphase Flowmeter | WFT – Wireline Formation Test |
Downhole Multiphase Flowmeter | PTA – Pressure Transient Analysis |
The other way is to split well tests by acquisition methodology into three categories:
Third way is to split well tests by number of wells involved:
Single-Well Tests | Multi-Well Tests |
---|---|
