DST
DST (Drillstem Test) has been used as a method of formation evaluation for many years. Originally used to identify reservoir fluids, DST has also become an important method for estimating reservoir pressure and well potential. It can be run both in open and cased holes with a single packer or a dual (or straddle) packer. DST can be viewed as a temporary well completion with the purpose of obtaining some or all of the following objectives:
Identification of reservoir fluid An indication of well productivity Pressure transient data to estimate permeability, skin factor, and static reservoir pressure.
DST Tool
Flow Periods
As noted previously, pressure increases during the flow periods of DST. Why does this happen? Flow period is an example of wellbore storage due to rising of fluid in drill pipe.

Or using a piecewise constant pressure approximation for the measured pressure data.
An Example
w =/144 = 0.325 psi/ft Vu = 0.007 bbl/ft CF = Vu w =0.0215 bbl/psi
Taken from Bourdets book Well Test Analysis: The Use of Advanced Interpretation Models.

Example Test 2
kh/ = 575, s = -2.3, = 60 cp, h = 38 ft, = 0.062, ct = 10.2x10-6 1/psi, CF = 3.65x10-2 bbl/psi

Note
It should be noted that Surge, Perforation inflow, and Impulse Tests are all examples of Slug tests, and can be anayzed by the methods discussed for g tests. slug Rahman et al. (JCPT, 2008) uses a late-time equation given by: (24)* (141.2)C F ( pi p0 ) 1 pwf (t ) = pi 2kh t His late-time analysis procedure is OK if radial flow exits. He also gives early time approximations which can be used to determine skin.
Example Test
From semi-log analysis we found: kh/ = 21.1, s = -1.2 From type-curve matching: we found kh/ = 21.5, s = -1.5

Packer-Probe Tests
Tests performed with such a configuration benefit from the large volume that can be sampled by the packer, especially when using a pumpout assembly for an extended test. Their radius of investigation is more than probe tests. Both packer and probe responses can provide estimates of kh, kv, and skin provided that storativity (ct) is known.
