ACCURATE, EFFICIENT MEASUREMENTS FOR BETTER RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION

Surface well testing is the only technique available today that assesses the true reservoir potential at full scale under dynamic conditions. It validates well performance during clean-up and commissioning and provides reservoir monitoring for better field management. From exploration and appraisal to well clean-up to production testing, our equipment and solutions deliver the most valuable information to guide asset evaluation and decision making.

Productivity Well Tests

  • Identify produced fluids and determine their respective volume ratios
  • Measure reservoir pressure and temperature
  • Obtain samples suitable for pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) analysis
  • Determine well deliverability
  • Evaluate completion efficiency
  • Characterize well damage
  • Verifying permeability and skin effect
  • Evaluating the well permeability and skin effect
  • Measuring the initial pressure
  • Estimating the minimum reservoir volume
  • Identify fluid behaviour
  • Evaluate workover or stimulation treatment.

Descriptive Well Test

  • Evaluate reservoir parameters
  • Characterize reservoir heterogeneities
  • Assess reservoir extent and geometry
  • Determine hydraulic communication between wells
