5.2.1 Running a well test
To run a well test:
1. Ensure that the NOC application is set for Well Test mode, and that all necessary data for the
well has been configured.
2. As shown in Figure 5-1:
a. From the View menu, select
Well Performance Measurement.
b. Select
Start Well Test.
c. Navigate to the well to be tested.
3. As shown in Figure 5-2:
a. Press
START. The well test screen is displayed, showing the test start time and the elapsed
time.
b. To end the well test, press
STOP, then press YES to confirm. The final well test values will
be automatically written to memory.
Well test records contain snapshots of actual values. The snapshots are written to memory every 15
minutes. These snapshot values are required for recalculation, but are not available for viewing.
Therefore, for meaningful recalculation, ensure that the well test is running for more than 15 minutes
so that the well test record will include snapshots.
Note: For background information on the recalculation feature, see Section 2.3.7.
During the well test (see Figure 5-2):
• You can press
VIEW to see current test data
• You can press
EXIT to:
- View more detailed data on the current test (see Section 5.2.2)
- Exit to the View menu. From the View menu, press
EXIT to return to the well test screen.
After the well test (see Figure 5-2):
• To run another test on the same well, press
START, then press YES to confirm.
• To test the next well (as defined by the well number), press
NEXT, then start the well test as
described here.
• To exit the well test menu, press
EXIT.
At any time, you can view and recalculate well test data for completed tests.
