摘要: A method of testing a downhole formation using a formation tester on a drill string. The formation tester is disposed downhole on a drill string and a formation test is performed by forming a seal between a formation probe assembly and the formation. A drawdown piston then creates a volume within a cylinder to draw formation fluid into the volume through the probe assembly. The pressure of the fluid within the cylinder is monitored. The formation test procedure may then be adjusted. The test procedure may be adjusted to account for the bubble point pressure of the fluid being monitored. The pressure may monitored to verify a proper seal is formed or is being maintained. The test procedure may also be performed by maintaining a substantially constant drawdown rate using a hydraulic threshold or a variable restrictor.

摘要: A method of determining the supercharge pressure in a formation intersected by a borehole having a wall, the method comprising disposing a formation pressure test tool into the borehole having a probe for isolating a portion of the borehole. The method further comprises extending the probe into sealing contact with the borehole wall. The method further comprises performing at least one drawdown test with the formation pressure test tool. The method further comprises modeling the supercharge pressure of the formation using the dynamic properties of the mudcake. The method further comprises determining the supercharge pressure of the formation using the supercharge pressure model. The formation pressure test tool may be conveyed into the borehole using wireline technology or on a drill string. Using the supercharge pressure, the drawdown test may be optimized, the characteristics of the drilling fluid altered, or the measurements of other sensors adjusted.

摘要: A new technique for interpreting pressure data measured during a formation test. The new technique uses an exact spherical flow model that considers the effects of flow line storage and that can be solved in closed, analytical form. This technique generates a type-curve that matches the entire measured pressure plot and that can accurately predict ultimate formation pressure during formation testing from a pressure plot that has not achieved steady state values near the formation pressure.

摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for determining geologic formation properties. A pressure wave is generated by a reciprocating piston transmitted to the formation by a probe. The pressure is sensed by a high accuracy quartz gauge in the probe. This pressure is compared to the pressure sensed at a spaced probe or to the flow rate of the piston to calculate permeability or other formation properties.
