Field Test & Interpretation128 Gaswell Testing In this chapter we shall undertake the analysis of an actual well lest. The well to be tested, the Melancon Heirs #1, is focated in Acadia Parish, Louisiana, about 12 miles due testo’ Lafayette. tis a North Rayne Field stepout well and was perforated and cleaned up just priorto the test. Both gas ond quid production were expected, and, because a pipe: line was not available, it was decided to flare the produced hydrocarbons and dispose any water production in the pit. During the conventional backpressure test, the proce dure specified by the State of Louisiana, stabilization was achieved rather fast, and both liquid and gas production seve encountered. Because of the presence of liquids, the Sovface equipment included two stages of separation, There sine no indication of coning or sand production. The well Was produced in the reverse sequence of rates, thats, from high to low, to prevent liquid buildup in the well bore. There was no H,5 present in the gas, pressures were mea- cured at the wellhead using both a deadweight tester and a continuous recorder and depth measurements are vertical. ‘& photograph of the testing equipment is shown in figure 5.1. Tables 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 givethe well data, summary of testdata, and calculation of the constants for adeliverability test for the Melancon Heirs # 1, respectively. {TABLE 5.1 Wel Daa 2770 508 hee aad Weights 5 12", 208 1397" Packer Setiiig: 19,935" Perorlions: 12,758"=12,778" Tubing iD. 2.441 eeFigure 5.1 Pressure Reorder ad Ceti Flay rover Ue during Caswell Tete TABLE 5.2 Summon Of tex an - tN, “ ho Tha Thee Sutlh 4261 po 4261 in 4265 pk 4201 pig Feng it 2015 010 3970 4045 pig Fong inal 340 rin 920 mk 983 pe 4065 pon ro 5 pst 100 si, 6 i 40s predation Rate tan si 2ST 10192 51510 405180 pe rodtion Rate 12siWo Tee Trae race te Pravin Rate 392i MSC 3.199 SCID 2SIOMSCHD HO MSCHO TABLE 5.3 Caleulstion Of The Constants Fora Deliverability Test On the Mrlancen #1, Weel of Lafayette, UA. oe Pe (welbead) pay (botomboted MMscrD sia a a6 x Fon ¢ 3.931 ants arm pea x ie 2.256. io ron 2 ain 3933 923 24751 ee 297 x ie 210 ‘000 4975 24206 % 3432 x 10 a7] 110 160 sou 22963 x 108 4.708 x Ur Ficld Test & Interpretation 129130 Gaswell Testing All the calculations are based on a datum depth of 12,768 ft, the midpoint of the perforated interval.
