Well Test Service and Dynamic Well Test Service date from 1982 (PO AMNGR). The Service provided for exploration well testing on sea drilling rigs of all types (such as jack-ups, semis, drilling ships) available at the enterprise.

Thanks to the work of high-qualified experts having great experience in the sphere of well testing, within this period, in severe conditions of Arctic Russian shelf, 28 structures were entered into drilling, 37 wells were tested (more than 150 objects), in 32 of which oil and gas inflows were received.  As a result, 15 oil, gas and gas-condensate fields were discovered: 3 of them, i.e.  Schtokman, refer to the unique ones.

Since 1982, FSUE AMNGR has an oil and gas production licensed site – Peschanoozerskoye field at the island of Kolguev, where within the scope of the field development control, well hydrodynamical studies are made regularly.

For the time being, the service structure covers well testing party (teams), a dynamic well test lab, production bases near Murmansk and operational areas.

The main targets for the Service are as follows:

• Well testing and dynamic well testing in the cased wells via well test tool and surface equipment set;
• Well testing and dynamic well testing at FSUE AMNGR production licensed site – Peschanoozerskoye field at the island of Kolguev in order to control hydrodynamic well development;
• Interpretation and analyses of the materials obtained with the findings/reports to be issued.

Recently, FSUE AMNGR has upgraded the testing surface and downhole equipment, mastered new well test technologies, purchased and mastered the state of the art foreign software, allowing to make interpretation and analyses of the results received as well as predict well tests.  The contacts are maintained in the sphere of well tests with foreign service companies. All that allowed to increase the service marketability at that service market. Of late years, the Well Test Service has acquired the working experience in performing well testing  services for outside organizations, both independently and together with foreign service companies. As a result, on the above ground and subsurface complexes,   the Service experts  have an opportunity to make many types of well testing and well hydrodynamic research sophisticatedly, within a wide range of geological-and-technical conditions.

FSUE AMNGR offers for the Russian oil producing enterprises and CIS the services in the sphere of testing and integrated hydrodynamic research of oil, gas and gas-condensate exploration wells and appraisal  wells as follows:     

• Formation test in the production string with Baker full opening set and serial Russian formation testers;
• Gas and hydrodynamic well research in steady and nonsteady conditions using surface package of foreign testing equipment, electronic instrumentation of wellhead and well bottom pressure and temperatures, including report preparation in electronic format and in a hard copy;
• Wellhead and bottom sampling by both the Russian and foreign samplers;
• Express-interpretation of dynamic well test data via “Interpret” software system by Paradigm Geophysical;
• Interpretation of hydrodynamic research results and results of the tests made with formation testers after physical and chemical properties of the saturate fluids are clarified, with “Findings/Report” being issued in a hard copy.
