With easy oil extraction becoming a thing of the past, new technologies and processes of discovery have been introduced into the exploration of oil and gas. These advancements rely on precise and accurate data, in many cases live during operations. Surface well testing operations acquire the necessary data during exploration, production, and development, and clean data is essential and heavily relied upon. Surface Well Testing: A Practical Guide guides readers on the fundamentals and techniques of surface well testing operations and data acquisition to ensure proper operational procedures and standards.Explains actual operations, equipment, and data acquisition and qualityIntroduces readers to the processes and techniques of surface well testing, the required measurements and readings, and how to get the right data to perform accurate reservoir and petroleum engineering calculationsBridges the gap between practical field operations and simulated engineering and mathematical modelsThis book supports readers and organisations in the oil and gas industry as an operations reference and training manual to ensure standardisation of operating procedures and accuracy of results.
