Formation testing is the downhole process of measuring in-situ reservoir pressure, estimating permeability/mobility, and capturing representative fluid samples before committing to completion and ...

Bradenhead cementing, where pressure is applied to the entire casing string, improves cementing operational efficiency and economic viability. It isolates the vertical part of the wellbore from ...

Wireline logging—specifically wireline formation testing and pressure surveys—provides direct, depth-referenced measurements of in-situ reservoir pressure and fluid gradients, the backbone of ...

A detailed, computer-assisted procedure has been developed for plotting pore pressures from electric logs. This new procedure differs from the traditional procedure in two ways. For atypical 10,000-ft ...
