3.F.4 Type of test
There are several different tests mainly depending upon the type of well.
 Exploration
 DST
 Formation testing
 Appraisal
 Production
 Dynamic gradient
 Static gradient
The planning of any of these types of tests involves setting a scenario to theoretically evaluate
if the objectives of the tests will be met.
3.F.5 Scenario
In order to set a scenario some of the information is usually known and some are assumed.
The quality and quantity of the known parameters are dependent upon the amount of work
already carried out on a prospect, if the planned test is to be carried out in a known field, if the
well has already been tested at some earlier stage, etc. The below table summarises some of
the data necessary to set the scenario which will be used to theoretically simulate the test
which will be used for the final program.
