 TESTING OBJECTIVES

• Isolate the target zone.

• Control well effluent.
• Convey fluid to surface.
• Acquire downhole data.
Schlumberger-Private

Wellbore Storage

 When a flow period starts, production

at surface is due to the expansion of
the fluid in the wellbore, and not the
reservoir.

car that want to joint them going out
