Testing exploration wells by objectives

Many papers have been published extending the theoretical understanding of pressure transient analysis. Most of these papers have concentrated on analysis of buildup tests for reservoir permeability, wellbore damage, and reservoir pressure. In many cases, the state of the art of analytical methods is far superior to the quality of the data obtained with present day procedures and instrumentation. This paper reviews the state of the art of testing exploration wells and presents a systematic approach to better formation evaluation. This systematic approach consists of establishing specific objectives for obtaining formation evaluation from well testing. Once the objectives are set, guidelines are given to design the test to meet all the objectives. The responsibility of test design rests on a well trained test engineer who also has the responsibility of test supervision, data quality control, data analysis, and test documentation. Guidelines are presented for procedures and instrumentation and a specific field example is presented that illustrates how to plan and conduct an exploration well test.
