PhaseTester Vx Services

PhaseTester portable multiphase periodic

well testing equipment is designed for easy
deployment. This solution-oriented service
covers the entire testing process from
design to reservoir interpretation.
Schlumberger offers service components
to match the needs of the job, including
site-specific safety analysis, wellsite
operations, well test reporting, well data
analysis and production diagnosis. With
minimal footprint and on-site installation

PhaseTester* Vx portable multiphase meter

needs, the PhaseTester service reduces the

cost per well tested through efficiency and
simplified logistics. The PhaseTester Vx*
multiphase well testing units have excellent
dynamic response to well flows and
require little or no stabilization time. As
many as three wells per day can be tested
on a typical production station.

Applications
