Service · DST variants
DST, closed-chamber, and underbalanced test planning.
Pick the test that matches fluid, sour, and the question — then write a string and sequence a DST house can actually run.
Conventional DST, closed-chamber, and underbalanced tests answer related questions with different surface and well-control footprints. Mixing them up in a bid package is how you get the wrong tools on the lease.
We recommend the variant, draft the flow/shut-in or chamber sequence, flag packer-seat and cushion issues, and shortlist vendors who own the relevant capability. Interpretation handoff is available when pressures and recoveries justify it.
If a wireline formation test or a cased-hole program is the better spend, we will say that in the outline. Independence includes recommending less test, not only more.
