DST
DRILL STEM TEST
Definition:

A DST is a temporary well completion Where


drillpipe/tubing in combination with downhole tools is used.
The formation is then allowed to flow under control. up a
test string,  filling the string "it could be tubing or drill
pipe" with formation fluid. The fluid is then diverted at
surface and constantly checked. 
OBEJECTIVES OF DST

• Determine types and characteristics of products fluids


• Determine well potential ( production )
• Determine characteristics of reservoir
-Permeability
-Capacity of reservoir
-pressure and temperature
-Skin
1. S = 0 ; normal flow
2. S> 0 ; reservoir is damaged
3. S< 0 ; reservoir stimulated

Typical DST sequences:

The typical drill stem test will be split into :

1- Run in hole DST string, make up and test all surface equipment.
2- Opening of down hole tester valve for PRE-FLOW.
3- Initial shut-in and recording of the initial reservoir pressure.
4- Opening the tester valve for second flow period (Main flow).
5- Final shut in and recording of pressure.
6- kill the well again by hydrostatic pressure of Mud.
7- Unset Packer, lay down surface equipment and Pull out of the hole.
8- Retrieve Recorders and interpretation of data.
