Gas Well Testing

This document discusses different types of gas well testing, including deliverability tests. It describes four main types of deliverability tests: flow-after-flow tests, single point tests, isochronal tests, and modified isochronal tests. Each test type is designed to evaluate the production potential of gas wells under specific reservoir conditions and provide different data. Isochronal and modified isochronal tests are more practical for low permeability formations as they can provide data with shorter test times compared to flow-after-flow tests.

INTRODUCION
It is used to evaluate productive potential of gas reservoir.
Gas well testing are categorized in two groups based on
their primary functions.
 Pressure Transient Tests.
 Deliverability Tests.
Pressure Transient Tests
These tests are designed to evaluate important reservoir
rock and fluid properties (e.g,porosity , permeability and
avg:reservoir pressure.)
These tests are also used to locate and identify reservoir
heterogeneities (e.g,sealing fault , natural fractures and
layers.)
Deliverability Tests
Designed to evaluate production potential of gas wells
under specific reservoir conditions.
The major application of these tests are as follows:
1.Absolute open flow potential(AOFP).
2.Inflow performance relationship(IPR).
Types of Deliverability Tests
 Four major types of D.T.
1. Flow-after flow Test.
2. Single Point Test.
3. Isochronal Test.
4. Modified Isochronal Test.
Flow-after flow test
(conventional/Gas back pressure)
Well flows at selected constant rate until pressure
stabilized (i.e. pseudo steady state is reached.
Stabilized rate and pressure are recorded.
Rate is then changed & well flows until pressure
stabilizes again at new rate.
This process is repeated for total of three or four
rates.
PROCEDURE
Test is conducted by producing well at series of
different stabilize flow rates and measuring stabilized
BHFP’s at sand face.
Each different flow rates is established in succession
either with or without very short intermediate shut in
period.
Typically this test is conducted with sequence of
increasing flow rates.
Single Point Test
It is an attempt to overcome the limitation of long test
time required for flow after flow test in low
permeability formations.
This test is conducted by flowing the well at single
rate until BHFP is stabilized.
This test are particularly appropriate when the wells
deliverability characteristics are being updated.
From this test we also ensure that well has flowed
long enough to be out of well bore storage and in
pseudo steady state flow regime.
ISOCHRONAL TEST
&
MODIFIED ISOCHRONAL TEST
Isochronal Test
This test is series of single point test.
It is conducted by alternately producing and shutting well.
Pressures are measured at several time increments during
each flow period.
This test more practical for low permeability formations.
PROCEDURE
The well is mainly shut in until the reservoir pressure
is stabilized.
Well is then opened to production @ rate q1,flowed
for final time & BHP is measured.
Above steps are repeated for different flow rates.
After series of flow rates, well is finally flowed up to
stabilize condition & that is known to be Extended
flow rate.
Analyzing Test Data
1.Plot (P² - Pwf²) vs. q on log-log paper.
2.Draw best S/L which will be called transient
deliverability test.
3.Find out slope 1/n for each time period.
4.Calculate mean value of slope.
5.Plot stabilized deliverability line by plotting the
stabilized point representing the extended flow rate
& stabilize Pwf.
Modified Isochronal Test
This test is used to obtain the same data as in isochronal
test without waiting for avg: reservoir pressure in drainage
area of well.
The modification of isochronal test was developed to
shorten test time further.
PROCEDURE
The modified isochronal test is conducted exactly in the
same way as the isochronal test is conducted.
In this test the flow periods are of equal length, also shut
in periods.
However, the shut in periods may be equal or exceed the
flow periods.
CONCLUSION
As a result isochronal test is less accurate than
isochronal test.
Its accuracy increases as shut in time increases.
Again , final stabilized flow point is usually obtained
at the end of test, but is not required for analyzing the
test data.
MODIFIED ISOCHRONAL TEST IS USED
WIDELY BECAUSE THEY CONSERVE TIME
AND MONEY.
