Introduction
 On completion of drilling till Well TD
 Open hole logs are recorded and based on the results of

logs, number of DST’s will be decided
 Then Production Liner / Casing will be and cemented
 CBL/VDL logs will be performed to check the isolation

between formations.
 Then Production Liner / casing will be pressure tested.

Perforations
 In order to create communication between formation and
well bore, perforations has to be performed
 Common types of perforations:

 Wireline perforations
 Tubing conveyed perforations

Wireline Perforation
 When the perforation interval is
less than 20 m than wire line
perforating guns were used.
 Wire line perforating guns have

limitation of carrying 09 m guns,
therefore for long perforations we
have to RIH more than once.
 Wire line perforating guns have

following BHA:
 Perforating charges (4-1/2",
5 SPF, 72o phasing,
Connex Charges)
 Detonator
 CCL log (for correlation)

Slick Line
 Slick line is a non-conducting wire and was used for
detonating the mechanical firing head.
 Slick line consists of following equipment's:

 Shooting Nipple
 Riser pipe (lubricator)
 Sheaves
 Spool
 Slick line
DST Objectives
 Determine the hydrocarbon potential, quantity and quality of
the formation fluids.
 Determination of reservoir pressure and temperature.
 Evaluation of reservoir permeability and skin.
 Collect representative formation fluid samples for PVT

analysis.
 Investigate formation characteristics.
 Evaluate boundary effects, if any.

DST Tools
DST Objectives
Wireline logging
 Wire line logging was used for correlation purpose

of perforation and bridge plug setting.
 For perforation, length from top of perforation to

CCL must be noted. For bridge plug, length from
mid of plug element to CCL must be noted.
 For correlation, top of liner and pup joint in casing

are important marks.
Surface Well Testing (SWT)
 The major function of surface well testing is to measure
the following parameters:
 Flow rates of oil, gas and water
 Well head pressure and temperature
 API gravity
 BS&W
 Following equipments were used for surface well testing:

 Choke manifold
 Three phase separator
 Surge tanks
 Gauge tank
 Pump
Surface Lay out (Sujawal Deep-1)
Flow Rate Calculations
 Crude Oil Rate
Flow rate= (final volume-initial volume)×tank factor×1440/(Time taking to reach the final level)
 Gas Flow Rate

 Gas flow rate is measured by using formula through orifice meter.
We have to give six variables to find gas flow rate which are
 Separator pressure
 Separator temperature
 Orifice ID
 Differential pressure
 Gas gravity
 Meter tube ID
 Water Rate
Water flow rate=volume of water produced/time taken by well to produce
that water
Coil Tubing Unit
 Coil tubing was used for kickoff
and stimulation. Coil tubing
consists of following equipment's:
 Reel
 BOP
 Injector Head
 Stripper
 Pumping Manifold
 Power Pack
 Tanks
 BHA for kickoff and stimulation is
given below:
 Roll on connector
 Double flapper check valve
 Hydraulic disconnector
 Spin cat
Pumping Unit
 Pumping unit was used for pressure testing
various lines and pressurizing annulus for
tester valve opening.
 Pumping unit was also used for squeeze

cementing job.
 Pumping unit consists of two triplex pumps

that can be used simultaneously.
Bridge Plug
 Bridge plug was used to isolate two

different formations. It is easy to drill as it
is made up of fiber material. It was set
using wire line.
 BHA for setting bridge plug using wire

line is given below:
 CCL log (for correlation)
 CPST
 Setting Sleeve
 Bridge Plug
