RE: Flow test sequence27 Jun 2018 14:00
Ramb,
I'm no expert, but my understanding is they will open the choke in small increments while keeping an eye on the pressure, I believe a well can be ruined if the taps are turned full on, for long period of time, an amount of pressure must be balanced with the optimal flow. Don't think there's an industry standard, (maybe some guidelines) as all wells will be different regarding the Depth, Permeability, Type of Rock/Sand, Pressure, Size of Payzone, ETC.
Think they are testing, with the intention to optymyze the individual zones, for period of 30/40 each.
