Application Rationale of Well Flow Test Complex Modules Covering Well Shut-in at the Bottomhole in terms of Eastern Siberia Carbonate Reservoirs Study

Abstract

The paper presents the experience of oil and gas exploration in the fields of the Irkutsk region. The geological features of the studied facilities dictate a practical approach and the use of compact and efficient technological solutions that can later be successfully applied to a large number of fields with similar geology. The paper highlighted an optimized complex of works on the development and testing of wells target objects in a cased wellbore, using the technology of “the well shut-off at the bottomhole”. This arrangement ensures the effective implementation of work on the development of target objects and allows for high-quality registration of the bottomhole pressure dynamics. This engineering solution allows to perform a full cycle of hydrodynamical studies of well (well test) for a target interval in a relatively short time. The use of a tube bank significantly reduces the wellbore storage eand allows to obtain detailed data reliably characterizing reservoir properties and the structure of the reservoir under study. The article describes the technology of hydrodynamic studies, with the well shut-off at the bottomhole. The article deals with the research problems of highly productive, flowing facilities, with a concrete example and a detailed analysis of technological features, interpretation options, possible complications and measures for optimization. The possibility of replicating technology in various geological and technical conditions is considered.
