testing
injectivity test
Inject into the well at measured rate and measure pressure as it increases with time analogous to pressure drawdown testing.
Multiwell tests:
Interference tests
The active well is produced at a measured, constant rate throughout the test (Other wells in the field must be shut in so that any observed pressure response can be attributed to the active well only.)
Pulse tests
The active well produces and then, is shut in, returned to production and shut in again Repeated but with production or shut-in periods rarely exceeding more than a few hours Produces a pressure response in the observation wells which usually can be interpreted unambiguously (even when other wells in the field continue to produce)
producing the well at a series of different stabilized flow rates measuring the stabilized bottomhole flowing pressure at the sandface
The isochronal test is conducted by alternately producing the well, then shutting in the well and allowing it to build up to the average reservoir pressure prior to the beginning of the next production period.
