Well testing

LPS offers services in testing and hydrodynamic studies of wells.

For the period of activity specialists of LPS have accumulated considerable experience in the sphere of well testing (with direct participation of specialists of LPS more than 30 offshore wells for oil, gas and gas condensate were successfully tested, including those in the fields with AVPD, H2S, ultra-high flow rate wells).

All equipment is made of corrosion-resistant material adapted to work in aggressive H2S and CO2 environments.
DST and deck complex (high pressure) equipment is designed for ultimate pressure of 15000 psi.

The service life of downhole equipment is not more than two years. Deck equipment service life is not more than six years.
The average work experience of the specialists involved in this project is 10 years.

At the moment, in cooperation with Geomechanics Research and Development Centre, the design documentation for hydraulically controlled formation testers and onshore testing complex has been finalized, and a complex of underwater fountain valves is under development. At the same time, preparations are underway to acquire the most modern equipment for multi-zone testing, as well as training and certification of personnel to work with this technology.
