The primary DST functions, whether conducted in openhole or cased wells, are to:

Isolate the target zone. Control well flow. Convey fluid to surface. Acquire downhole data.

Surface Well Testing

WELL TESTING is the only technique examining a significant portion of the reservoir under dynamic conditions to determine its production capabilities and reservoir properties.

It supports the weight of the test string.

It allows up-and-down and rotation movement of the test string.

It flows out of the well through a flow valve.

It allows to pump fluid into the well through a kill valve.

The 4 gates valves: Swab valve: to run tools in downhole. Master valve: to isolate the surface equipment from the downhole string. It is the first valve at surface to control the well. Kill valve: to inject fluid (mud) to kill the well or acid to improve well production. Flow line: to control the flow. Normally 4/23/12 closed.

Emergency Shut Down System

Well closure: The ESD initiates well closure when the pressure in the flow line either rises above a high-level threshold or falls below a low-level threshold. The ESD is mandatory when the wellhead pressure exceeds 5,000 psi, whenever H2S is present, or in high pressure/temperature/ flowrate conditions.

The oil manifold links the separator to the tank, the transfer pump, and the burners. It allows oil leaving the separator to be diverted to the tank or the burners, or sent directly to a production line.

Gas from the separator flows through the gas and is directed to one of two gas flares.
