    摘要: The method comprising measuring the rate at which working fluid is expelled from a cavity through a central tubing to a well head under atmospheric pressure at the well head; determining the shape of a zone of the well selected for positioning an interface between a test fluid and the working fluid; performing temperature measurements and pressure measurements over the full height of a cavity under atmospheric pressure at the well head; injecting additional working fluid into the central tubing or into the annular space until a predetermined test pressure is reached; measuring the compressibility of a cavity during the preceding step; injecting test fluid into the annular; measuring the depth of the interface between the test fluid and the working fluid for a first time at the end of injecting test fluid; measuring the test fluid and the working fluid pressures at the well head; measuring the level of the interface between the test fluid and the working fluid for a second time; and evaluating the real leakage rate of test fluid that took place during said test period.
