Well Testing Downhole Drill Stem Testing(DST) Tools
A properly conducted well test is a temporary completion of a well to acquire dynamic rate through time, pressure, and fluid property data. The well test often indicates how the well will perform when it is subjected to various flow conditions. An analysis is usually performed on the data to determine reservoir parameters and
characteristics. Production decline may be predicted using these parameters and characteristics. The production decline can be used to predict cash flow. Once cash flow is known, improved drilling, completion, and production decisions can be made on this well and other wells in the field. Well test objectives can be classified as short term or long term.
• Short-term well test objectives typically involve gathering and analyzing sufficient well data to obtain a description of the reservoir system in the vicinity of the wellbore.
• Long-term well test objectives focus on gathering and analyzing data to obtain a complete description of the reservoir. The test time required to satisfy the test objectives varies for each reservoir. These test times are directly related to the testing costs and data needed.
The well testing and sampling operation is typically accomplished with an assortment of test tools. The basic downhole test tools required for a well test include:
• Reversing valve
• Tester valve
• Samplers
• Gauges (pressure and temperature recorders)
• Packer
• Tubing conveyed perforating guns
RD(Safety)Circulating Valve
The rupture disk (RD) safety circulating valve functions as both a safety valve and circulating valve. The tool functions as a safety valve when the annulus pressure reaches a predetermined value.
This tool converts into a circulating valve when the ball valve section is removed and attach a lower adapter called RD Circulating Valve.
The valve can not be open when closed in downhole operation.
RD Circulating valve is the same as RD Safety circulating valve except short of ball valve section, the annulus pressure made RD burst and the pressure goes into RD hole and push circulating mandrel forward, then open the circulating ports.
