<strong>EBN</strong> <strong>Notional</strong> <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Development</strong> Plan<br />

Once the expected fluid type for this field has been defined, swabbing equipment is recommended to be<br />

included in the case where the oil reservoir could not flow.<br />

3.4.3 Well Test and Fluid Sampling Design<br />

3.4.3.1 Vertical Well Testing<br />

Gas Well Testing<br />

Flow After Flow Test Summary (The rate guidance can be seen in Figure 3-45, Predicted Test Rate<br />

above.)<br />

• Perform clean up period until debris from wellbore disappears by observing the flowing well<br />

head pressure.<br />

• Flow the well at small choke until stabilized (4-6 hrs). Stabilization can be recognized by smaller<br />

fluctuations in well head flowing pressure around 5 psig and maximum of 10 psig if 5 psig can’t<br />

be achieved. As a reference, the expected rate will be between 350 MSCFD to 4-5 MMSCFD<br />

based on the shale gas well production in the US.<br />

• Flow the second rate by opening the choke until the flowing well head pressure is reduced by at<br />

least 100-500 psig (Pwf not to exceed 25% of the AOF value)and noticeable rate (gas rate >0.3<br />

mmcfd) difference is observed and then flow the well until stabilized (4-6 hrs).<br />

• Flow the third rate by increasing the choke again until the FTP is reduced an additional 100-500<br />

psig with noticeable flow rate difference (> .3 mmcfd) or more and keep flowing until stabilized<br />

(4-6 hrs). Normally the draw down is defined not to exceed 25% of the AOF value and comply<br />

with the frac design.<br />

Flow After Time Estimate<br />

• Clean up period 2-8 hrs<br />

• Flow after flow 12 hrs<br />

• Build up 18 hrs<br />

• Total testing time 30-40 hrs<br />

• For smooth operations, the total time required for testing usually between 3-4 days including<br />

the operations and sampling.<br />
