Benefits of technology

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for testing a well. The system includes a well testing apparatus and a mobile device for the operator. The well testing apparatus includes a separator, control assembly, and data acquisition devices, while the mobile device displays data about the operation of the well testing apparatus based on data collected from sensors on the apparatus. The method also allows the operator to input operational parameters and store them in a database of well test operational data. The technical effects of this system and method include improved monitoring and control of well testing apparatus during well tests, as well as improved efficiency and safety during well testing operations.

Problems solved by technology

These produced fluids are often multiphase fluids (e.g., those having some combination of water, oil, and gas), making measurement of the flow rates more complex.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]It is to be understood that the present disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of various embodiments. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below for purposes of explanation and to simplify the present disclosure. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to be limiting.

[0025]When introducing elements of various embodiments, the articles “a,”“an,”“the,” and “said” are intended to mean that there are one or more of the elements. The terms “comprising,”“including,” and “having” are intended to be inclusive and mean that there may be additional elements other than the listed elements. Moreover, any use of “top,”“bottom,”“above,”“below,” other directional terms, and variations of these terms is made for convenience, but does not mandate any particular orientation of the components.

[0026]Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to well testing operations at a wellsite....

Abstract

A system includes a well testing apparatus and a mobile device to be carried by an operator of the well testing apparatus. The well testing apparatus can include a separator, a well control assembly upstream of the separator, a fluid management assembly downstream of the separator, and data acquisition devices positioned to collect data about operation of the well testing apparatus. The mobile device can display information about the operation of the well testing apparatus based on the collected data and enables mobile monitoring of the operation of the well testing apparatus by the operator as the operator moves about the well testing apparatus. Additional systems, methods, and devices are also disclosed.

Description

BACKGROUNDField[0001]This disclosure relates to well testing systems, apparatuses, devices, and methods for executing a well test.Description of the Related Art[0002]Wells are generally drilled into subsurface rocks to access fluids, such as hydrocarbons, stored in subterranean formations. The subterranean fluids can be produced from these wells through known techniques. Operators may want to know certain characteristics of produced fluids to facilitate efficient and economic exploration and production. For example, operators may want to know flow rates of produced fluids. These produced fluids are often multiphase fluids (e.g., those having some combination of water, oil, and gas), making measurement of the flow rates more complex. Surface well testing provides various information about the reservoir and its fluids, such as volumetric flow rates of fluids produced from a well and properties of the produced fluids. Surface well testing equipment may be temporarily installed at a wel...
