Independent well-test expertise — right program, right vendors, clean data package.

Program outline within 1 business day. Advisory / coordination — not a truck company.
Alberta focus; Calgary / Edmonton-area operators and consultants. Saskatchewan and BC welcome.

Results packaged for decisions — not a chart dump from the lease.
The difference
Production testers sell iron. You still need a program.
Grant, Skyline, Wesco, Surface Solutions, BGES and their peers run competent spreads. That is not the same as writing the test against the decision you have to make — DFIT, DST, flowback, AOF, or a sour file.
Welltest Advisory is the independent desk: program design, vendor matching, ops support, and a data package your reservoir and completions people can use. Finder’s fee or retainer against an expert network. Not an equipment house.

Original schematic — program flow, not a vendor brochure.
| Factor | Welltest Advisory | Production-testing truck company |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | Program, vendor match, oversight, data package | Separators, tanks, flare, crew days |
| Incentive | Right test, right house, usable data | Utilize owned iron |
| Vendor choice | Shortlist against the program | Usually themselves |
| DFIT / DST / sour | Designed as distinct programs | Often a flowback ticket with extras |
| Field execution | Licensed service companies | Their crews and equipment |
Program hubs
Seven ways the well can need a test.
Program design
Objective first. Envelope, vendors, oversight, package.
DFIT / mini-frac
Designed injection, FBA coordination, interpretation path.
DST / formation testing
String, sequence, closed-chamber and underbalanced options.
Flowback & production
Package selection, inline / AOF, bid comparison.
Critical sour
AER-aware planning. Not legal advice.
Data packages
QA, decision memo, PTA handoff to partner experts.

When the spread’s supervisor is not enough.
Reading a report
Before you change the completions plan.
Proof
