Mini DST/Fast Test with Shock Sensing

Sub Tool Application
Conventional DST is a proven means of evaluating a well. However,
sometimes a “quick look” pore pressure and permeability from
early-to intermediate-time pressure transients are required.
Halliburton improves this technique by integrating existing
technology with recent developments in Shock Sensing Sub
tools and combining this with Halliburton’s Remote Open Close
Technology (ROCT).
Before the development of the Shock Sensing Sub tool, when a zone
of interest required evaluation, a string of DST tools was the first
choice for most operators. Now, the Shock Sensing Sub tool can
be placed directly in the perforating gun string at multiple points,
which enables mini DST/fast test analysis without the extra cost
associated with long buildup time and tripping in and out of the
well with a dedicated DST string.
By capturing actual reservoir response at multiple points

throughout the perforation interval before, during, and after the
Shock Sensing Sub
perforating event, the mini DST/fast test can be used for production
testing to obtain optimum flow rates, stabilized formation
pressures, and the in-situ characteristics of the reservoir. The mini Shock Sensing Sub Tool Benefits

• Is remotely operated the utility and power of this new technique.
• Has a long battery life To provide more accurate pressure and permeability
• Can run open or closed measurements, the mini DST/fast test was designed to run
capture data within the zone of interest at sand face.
• Provides flexible deployment options and well control
The mini DST/fast test is designed to circulate through the
perforating string to ensure that differential sticking is minimized.
This makes quick look for pore pressure and permeability in
horizontal and extended reach wells less expensive and safer than
testing with a standard drillstem testing string.
