| Information Provided by Technique | |
| Lithology: | Enable estimation of in-situ reservoir elastic parameters |
| Stratigraphic/Structural: | Fracture distribution, formation permeability, and ambient tectonic stresses |
| Hydrological: | provides information on permeability, location of permeable zones recharge rates, flow rates, fluid flow direction, hydrologic connections, storativity, reservoir pressures, fluid chemistry, and scaling. |
| Thermal: | Temperature variations with time
Extrapolate the true temperature of formation |
Well Testing Techniques:
Tests conducted on a well to learn about the reservoir conditions, estimate the wells production/injection potential, and quantify the overall resource.
The given value was not understood.
Well testing involves lowering numerous types of sensors down the well. Most often a well logging truck equipped with a wireline winch is used.
