Consistently shocked by the people in here that STILL don’t understand how well testing works. You start at the bottom, test, plug, and then test higher up, plug, test higher up, repeat, etc. While it is physically possible to perforate an interval and then isolate it to do something below, it is not straight forward, carry’s risks, and is expensive.
So to sum that up. BOTTOM FIRST, THEN MOVE UP IS HOW WELL TESTING IS DONE. THERE IS NO SELECTING ZONES BASED ON THEIR CHANCE FOR SUCESS IF IT INTERRUPTS THE BOTTOM TO TOP ORDER!
I hope that’s clear now.
