Question #4
a)What are the best time to test a well?
Prior to Completion- To assist in the completion decision, a drillstem test or a repeat formation test, or both, will normally be carried out.
Post completion:Once the well has been completed a buildup, draw-down, or deliverability test is performed to quantify near wellbore and reservoir conditions and to define inflow performance characteristics.
Prestimulation and Poststimulation:Stimulation (acidizing or fracturing) treatments are often applied to wells to improve their
performance. Usually a well test (typically a buildup test) is performed before the treatment to evaluate the need for stimulation and after the treatment, to estimate its effectiveness.
