    Introduction

     A drill stem test (DST) is a procedure for isolating and


    testing the pressure, permeability and productive
    capacity of a geological formation during the drilling of
    a well.
    History

     In the 1950s, Schlumberger introduced a method for testing formations


    using wireline. The Schlumberger formation-testing tool, placed in
    operation in 1953, fired a shaped charge through a rubber pad that had
    been expanded in the hole until it was securely fixed in the hole at the
    depth required.
    About Drill Stem Test(DST)

     Drill stem testing is an oil and gas exploration procedure to isolate,

    stimulate and flow a downhole formation to determine the fluids present

    and the rate at which they can be produced. The main objective of a

    DST is to evaluate the commercial viability of a zone's economic

    potential by identifying productive capacity, pressure, permeability or

    extent of an oil or gas reservoir.


    Applications Of DST
    1-Cased Hole
    Performed after the well is cased, cased hole
    drill stem testing uses a retrievable
    production packer that is set above the zone
    of interest. The well is then flow tested
    through perforations in the casing. The two
    types of cased hole testing are pressure
    operated and mechanically operated.
    2-Open Hole
    Because it's performed before casing is run,
    open hole drill stem testing can be the most
    economical way to determine productive
    capacity, pressure, permeability or the
    extent of an oil or gas reservoir. The testing
    equipment is run into the well and the zone
    of interest is isolated using inflate or
    compression-set packers, depending on your
    requirements and drilling conditions.
    Procedure
     During normal well drilling, drilling mud is pumped

    through the drill stem and out of the drill bit. In a drill

    stem test, the drill bit is removed and replaced with

    the DST tool and devices are inflated above and below

    the section to be tested.[2] These devices are known

    as packers and are used to make a seal between the

    borehole wall and the drill pipe, isolating the region of

    interest.[3] A valve is opened, reducing the pressure

    in the drill stem to surface pressure, causing fluid to

    flow out of the packed-off formation and up to the


    Result

     In a low permeability or low pressure formation, surface production may

    not be achieved but the volume and flow rate of fluid can still be

    analysed within the drill stem.
