Well Test Objectives
Temporary well completion to acquire well andreservoir data under controlled conditions
Testing management approach is a key driverto achieve evaluation objectives
Data interpretation providesvaluable reservoir managementinformation

Industry Concerns and Remarks
Used to minimize uncertainties and increase profit
Avoided investment in attractive prospect
It may be mandatory to proof fieldcommerciality
Operationally successful job however objectiveswere not obtained

Testing Risk Factors
Layers communication due to poor cement bond
High pressure and temperatures (over 350°F)
Pressure and fluid loss through packers
Annulus-tubing fluid communication
Layers crossflow
Water coning or sanding

Testing data acquisition and interpretation methodology has advanceddramatically during the last ten years, still there are manycases were evaluation objectives are not obtainedat all or questioned. There are no alternativesto well testing and appropriate testingmanagement is the solution formost of the cases
