Selective Formation Tester

(SFT") Tool
Weatherford's selective fornation tester (SFT) tool obtains an unlimited
number of formation pressure tests and up to three fiuid samples in each
run. The SFT tool has a unique variable-rate pretest chamber and is
equipped with standard strain and highly accurate quartz pressure gauges. Electronics
Section
The SFT tool uses a variable-rate pretest chamber that can be precisely
controlled in 0.06 in. (1 cm) increments for up to 2.32 in. (38 cm²)
drawdown volume, allowing for changes in lithology and permeability. Up
to three discrete 1.3-gal (5.0-L) samples can be taken, and samples can Sample

be segregated from a single zone. All SFT tool functions are variable and
operator controlled to exactly match each test to specific formation and
openhole conditions.
The SFT tool can be equipped with a wide choice of pressure gauges,
enabling pressure readings up to 20,000 psi (138 MPa). Various snorkel
diameters and seal-pad hardness choices are also available for optimal

testing in different formation and hole conditions. All fluid-sample chambers
are equipped with water cushions and metered orifices that control

formation fluid entry and reduce flowline plugging. The SFT tool's setf
(6.8 m)
cleaning snorkel uses a hydraulic mud-plug piston to eject all mud and
debris after each test.
