ByTestWells

In the North Sea, it is very common to call a production flow test a “well test”. In a production flow test, the well is flowed through a test separator or a multiphase flow meter MPFM. An average measured rate is reported, along with wellhead and bottom-hole pressure values. In theory, flow stability and...

Do you analyze the production data from opportunistic PBU shut-ins ?
ByTestWells

Every PBU, every PFO, every shut-in contain some critical information about your well and your reservoir. Every shut-in is an "information snapshot" of your well and reservoir. Do you use every production shut-in as an opportunity to learn? Do you have the resources and expertise to do this for each of your wells? ...

What is Well Testing ?
ByTestWells

After flowing a well over a stable period via a flow meter (test separator meter, orifice place, MPFM…), shutting-in the well with a surface or downhole valve for a finite time interval defines a well test. For a producer, pressure at the well builds up during a test: This is called a Pressure Build-Up (PBU)...
