@IG, I dont think they are doing a full on flow test, costs..
Although when asked if they are flow testing Noble, the answer is absolutely..
but then explains MDT(samples gas & water, pressure), and Mini-DST(downhole pressure)..
So looks like no flow test, but data collection to indicate flow rates
Two explanations
The mini-DST measures the local mobility of the formation, cleans the wellbore of mud filter cake and near well bore mud filtrate contamination, thus enabling the acquisition of a clean formation sample.
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.
Sounds like what He1 were foing to do on Tai-1
