CONCEPTUAL DESIGN IN SINGLE RUN WELL TESTING FOR MULTIPLE TEST ZONES

This project focuses singularly on the well testing during exploration and appraisal. Well testing is recognized by many operating oil and gas companies to be the most hazardous operation that they regularly operate. Planning a well testing operation is an extremely complex task and requires a l...
