How does a repeat formation tester work?

A method of recovering fluid pressures with a wireline. The padded tool seals formations and pumps fluid until resistivity indexes indicate formation fluids are present; it measures temperature and pressure and recovers a fluid sample.

What is RFT in reservoir engineering?

Repeat Formation Tester (RFT) A tool that isolates small sections of the pay and removes fluid samples and takes pressures.

What is RFT log?

Wireline formation testing (RFT). This operation is carried out in an open hole during wireline logging operations. The wireline tool is lowered down the uncased hole to the point of interest. It is then jacked and sealed against the borehole wall.

What is meant by wireline formation testing?

The wireline formation pressure measurement is acquired by inserting a probe into the borehole wall and performing a minidrawdown and buildup by withdrawing a small amount of formation fluid and then waiting for the pressure to build up to the formation pore pressure.

What is RFT Test in oil and gas?

The repeat formation tester (RFT) tool was designed to measure formation pressure quickly and accurately. It measures pressure at specific points on the borehole wall. Formation pressure is measured by the formation sampler (Figure 1) when it is extended from the tool to contact the formation.

How does a drill stem test work?

A drill stem test (DST) is a method of formation evaluation. The test allows fluids in the formation being evaluated to flow into the drill stem and to the surface. Pressure-recording devices in the drill stem test tool measure and record pressure in the well while it is both flowing and not flowing (shut in).

What is leak off test drilling?

1. n. [Drilling] A test to determine the strength or fracture pressure of the open formation, usually conducted immediately after drilling below a new casing shoe. During the test, the well is shut in and fluid is pumped into the wellbore to gradually increase the pressure that the formation experiences.

What is MDT in oil and gas?

The MDT (Modular Formation Dynamics) wireline formation testing tool, a mini-drillstem test, provides fast and accurate measurements of formation pressure and both the vertical and horizontal permeability of the formations near the wellbore.

What is production testing?

Testing in production (TIP) is a software development practice in which new code changes are tested on live user traffic rather than in a staging environment. It is one of the testing practices found in continuous delivery. Production software is the version of software that is released live to real users.

What is the difference between leak off test and formation integrity test?

Leak Off Test – you pressure test shoe and formation until formation break down. Formation Integrity Test – you test strength of shoe and formation to designed pressure. Formation Integrity Test is typically used for testing strength of formation and shoe by increasing Bottom Hole Pressure (BHP) to designed pressure.

What is formation integrity test?

A Formation Integrity Test (FIT) is a test of the strength and integrity of a new formation and it is the first step after drilling a casing shoe track. An accurate evaluation of a casing cement job and of the formation is extremely important during the drilling of a well and for subsequent work.
