Specific
Pressure and Flowrate measurements with a purpose to analyze wellbore pressure response to flowrate variation in order to assess reservoirwell-reservoir contact and wellbore storage properties.


One of the two branches of Well Testing where static or dynamic pressure is the key element of analysis.

Open-Hole (OH)Cased-Hole (CH)
DST – Drill Stem TestWFT – Wireline Formation TestCased-Hole Pressure Transient TestSGS – Static Gradient Survey


The interpretation methodology of the pressure tests is called Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA).
