Extended well tests (EWTs) are used to evaluate productivity and characteristics of a reservoir. Clearly understanding the reservoir's potential helps operators reduce risks. In particular, EWTs are used to
- estimate reservoir volume and confirm reserves for field development
- confirm long-term reservoir deliverability
- pilot future facility designs during actual field development
- provide an opportunity to estimate interwell transmissibility and wellbore storage
- verify static data dynamically
- obtain additional production-related data, such as water cut, sand production, and well deliverability.
EWTs also provide a way to test sand control techniques and process- and production-related technologies. Such testing minimizes risks related to developing a field for long-term, sustained production.
