Well testing is a crucial process in the oil and gas industry used to evaluate the performance and characteristics of a reservoir. It involves measuring and analyzing the flow of fluids (oil, gas, and water) from a well to gather data about the reservoir’s capacity, pressure, and composition. This information helps operators make informed decisions about production strategies, reservoir management, and future drilling plans.
As part of a service, well testing typically includes specialized equipment and personnel to carry out various tests such as pressure drawdown, build-up, and flow testing. These tests help determine the productivity of the well, the presence of reservoir boundaries, and potential issues such as formation damage or wellbore blockages.
Well testing services are essential for optimizing production, ensuring safe operations, and maximizing the economic potential of an oil or gas field.
