A Systematic Approach to Sampling During Well Testing SPE 69427
Language: Inglés Series: Dybdahl, Bjorn ; Publication details: Dallas, Texas Society of Petroleum Engineers 2001Online resources: Summary: The industry is focusing on cost reductions by saving on expensive rig time and on reducing the impact on the environment during well testing. Fluid samples for field developments are more often taken solely by wireline formation tester/samplers (WFT/S) and not necessarily followed by flow to surface in a drill stem test. It has also been more usual to drill exploration wells with oil based mud in order to increase the drilling rate. These measures reduce the likeliness for good quality fluid samples and increase the uncertainty in field development projects related to fluid data. A systematic approach to fluid sampling is presented which discuss the different aspects related the quality of fluid data obtained depending on the sampling method, type of reservoir fluid system and formation properties. Recommendations for these decision-making processes are presented.| Current library | Status | Barcode | |
