Drill Stem Testing

Expro offers the complete well test package, utilising some of the
industry’s most reliable technologies. We have invested in our
infrastructure and people to enhance our global capabilities in all the
key exploration and appraisal markets where we operate.
A drill stem test (DST) offers the fastest and safest method of
evaluating the potential of a newly-discovered hydrocarbon-bearing
formation. After the well has been drilled and cased, the first stage
of a well test is to run a DST string in conjunction with a downhole
data system with the option to include tubing conveyed sampling
and tubing conveyed perforating systems.

Our DST systems

The DST bottomhole assembly is designed around your test

objectives and well parameters. We provide downhole systems,
including perforating guns, with the functionality to effectively and
safely perform the well test. These systems capture quality data
such as bottomhole pressures and temperatures during flow
(drawdown) and shut-in (build up) periods and representative
single-phase formation fluid samples.

DST tools
Our core DST tools were introduced to the field in 1987
giving them a proven track record of over 25 years. At
that time it was the first universally applied cased-hole
DST tool string with 5” OD and 2.25” ID, rated to
15,000 psi and 350°F/177°C, as per NACE MR-01-75.
The additional functionality from our new generation
Expro DST tools means that we now provide fully
integrated solutions across exploration and appraisal
well testing at 15,000 psi differential pressure, up to
450°F/232°C.

Downhole data acquisition systems

In addition to conventional downhole memory gauges, Expro provide real-time surface readout data
(SRO). Expro’s Cableless Telemetry System (CaTS™) uses advanced wireless telemetry technology to
transmit high quality bottomhole pressure and temperature data to surface in real-time using
electromagnetic (EM) through-tubing/casing communication. Having access to surface readout data
provides early confirmation that the quality and quantity of data collected is adequate to characterise the
reservoir, leading to optimised timing of the well test operations.

Tubing conveyed sampling (TCS)

Collection of representative bottomhole fluid samples is a key objective in most DSTs. Expro's tubing
conveyed sampling system provides a multi-unit, flexible, high-quality alternative to traditional wireline
conveyed sampling. As the samplers are run with the DST string, no wireline intervention is required,
reducing risk and rig time.

Tubing conveyed perforating systems (TCP)

Single trip underbalanced perforating utilising TCP guns is generally preferred in exploration and appraisal
DSTs. Expro has been in the TCP business for over 30 years and provides industry leading TCP gun
systems with a full range of in-house designed firing heads, gun releases, vent subs and other associated
equipment.

The data that we deliver

Expro has continuously developed its capability to acquire accurate

and reliable high quality data, allowing the customer to make
informed decisions quickly, effectively and efficiently.

Expro's data acquisition services provide monitoring solutions that apply at all locations from sand face to
burner tip. This includes the EDGE data acquisition system for surface process monitoring; precision
quartz memory gauges for reservoir pressure and temperature data; and the CaTS wireless SRO system,
providing real-time bottomhole data on demand for the dynamic optimisation of pressure drawdown and
build-up periods, to ensure a valid well test in line with specific objectives and the potential to reduce high
cost rig time.
The CaTS system transmits data to surface in real time using electromagnetic (EM) signals. Having access
to SRO data provides confidence in the data quality and quantity, leading to early decision making and
optimisation of the testing program duration.

SRO benefits:
■ Uses the well-proven CaTS wireless communications technology
■ High specification quartz crystal sensors
■ Features dual redundancy throughout the system for enhanced reliability
■ Dual purpose gauge features both SRO and memory functionality
■ Duplex comms (two-way communication with gauges)
■ No need for wireline intervention to receive data at surface, reducing intervention risk
■ Suitable for use in high H2S/CO2 harsh condition environments
■ Compatible with onshore, jack-up and semi-submersible operations

The EDGE system captures both surface and downhole well data and collates the information into a single
report format for our customers to review at, or remote from, the well site. EDGE features a complete
visual and audible alarm system, which can be configured, with upper and lower limits, to alert the operator
or perform shut-down operations when any abnormal conditions occur. It can monitor virtually any number
of sensors, while simultaneously performing multiple operations on the data, both real-time and historic.

Our DST string includes:

Slip Joint
The Slip Joint is a telescopic tool with five feet of free travel from closed to fully open. It allows for tubing movement
due to pressure and temperature change during well flowing (expansion) and stimulation (contraction) conditions. The
tool is internally pressure and volume balanced and is splined to allow torque to be transmitted to the string below.

Annulus Operated Reversing Valve (AORV)

The AORV is a single shot circulating valve giving unrestricted flow between tubing and annulus. It is opened by
applying annulus pressure to burst a pre-selected rupture disk. It is then permanently retained in the open position by
a lock ring and cannot be reclosed. It is generally used as a back-up to a multi-cycle recloseable circulating valve
and can also be installed below the shut-in ball valve as a contingent kill valve.

ExACT™ Tool
The ExACT™ tool is a fully annulus-operated combined multi-cycle circulating and downhole shut-in ball valve. It
incorporates a nitrogen chamber which compensates for changes in annulus hydrostatic pressures at depth and a
trap system (ARTS), which locks an operating reference pressure in the tool. The tool has three functional positions:
ball open – ports closed; ball closed – ports closed; ball closed – ports open. The tool is governed by an indexing
sleeve working in conjunction with smartcollet and interlock, and moved to the desired functional position by applying
and bleeding annulus pressure (max. 2,000 psi). This tool is flexible and efficient, requiring minimal cycles (max. four)
to get from one of the above functional positions to any other, and there are no waiting times between cycles. The
ball can withstand 15,000 psi differential from above and below and can be opened with 7,500 psi differential from
above or below, at less than 2,000 psi applied annulus pressure. The ports can withstand circulation rates in excess
of 10 bbls/min, at low back-pressures.
The ExACT tool replaces the POTV and the tubing-operated MRST in the tool string.

EXP_DST 20p_A4_new 06/04/2017 13:40 Page 8

Our DST tools

Multi Reverse Spot Tool (MRST)
The MRST is a tubing-operated multi-cycle circulating valve and provides a means of establishing
communication between the tubing and annulus. It has three functional positions: closed, reverse and spot-
circulate. It can be run in the well in either the closed or reverse positions, depending on the application.
This valve is not required if an ExACT tool is used.

Pressure Operated Tester Valve (POTV)

The POTV is an annulus pressure-operated multi-cycle downhole ball valve, holding pressure from above and
below. It is run in conjunction with a nitrogen chamber which compensates for changes in annulus hydrostatic
pressures at depth and a trap system (ARTS), which locks an operating reference pressure in the tool . An
optional indexing lock-open system allows the ball to remain open every second cycle. This lock open feature
allows the POTV to act as a fluid by-pass when placing seals in a packer bore and aids in wireline and well kill
procedures. The ball can withstand 15,000 psi differential from above and below and can be opened with full
differential from above or below. This valve is not required if an ExACT tool is used.

Annulus Reference Trap System (ARTS)

The ARTS is used to trap a pressure in the reference section of the ExACT tool and POTV. The ExACT tool uses
the ARTS-C, which is ruptured disk actuated; the POTV can use either ARTS-C or ARTS-B, which is
differentially actuated. Once this reference pressure has been trapped, the ExACT tool or POTV can be operated
through the application and removal of applied annulus pressure. A relief sleeve ensures that trapped pressure is
bled off as the tool is retrieved from the well.

Gauge carriers and downhole memory guages

Expro utilises leading oilfield quartz gauges, housed in short (< 1m long) gauge carriers. The gauge carriers are
NACE compliant and their pressure and temperature ratings, ODs, IDs and connections are consistent with the
DST tools. The gauges can be 0.75” or 1.25” OD, depending on pressure and temperature rating, and can be
configured in the carrier to record tubing or annulus pressure and temperature. The carriers can house up to
four gauges, all tubing, or mixed tubing and annulus sensing.

Quartz gauge specifications:

Pressure Std and HT: 0-20,000 psi (0 – 1,380
bar); XHT: 0-30,000 psi (0 – 2,070 bar)

Self Fill Tubing Tester Valve (SF-TTV)

The flapper-type SF-TTV provides a means of filling and pressure testing the tubing string while running in the
hole. The unique, patented bi-directional tubing-to-tubing bypass means the flapper never leaves its seat,
therefore is protected from debris and washout. This valve provides for an unlimited number of string pressure
tests and is locked out of service, leaving an unobstructed bore, by applying annulus pressure to burst a
preselected rupture disk. The tubing-to tubing bypass design means the string is not compromised when pulling
from a seal-bore packer and allows drain back of mud during heave conditions on floating vessels. In HP/HT
application an upper and lower SF-TTV can be deployed, with the upper valve isolating the DST tools and
pressure-temperature gauges from unnecessary multiple high pressure tests.

Downhole Safety Valve (DHSV)

The DHSV is a single-shot ball valve deployed in the open position and if required the ball can be closed by
applying annulus pressure to burst a preselected rupture disk. Once closed, the ball will isolate well pressure but
will still allow fluid to be pumped through from above for well-kill purposes. The pump-through pressures depend
on mud hydrostatic and pressure below the ball.

Hydraulic Jar
The Hydraulic Jar is used to free stuck pipe and tools in the wellbore. This device delivers heavy impact blows to
the test string by storing energy within the tool. The impact load is dependent on the amount of overpull on the
jar as it meters open. It can be closed (re-cocked) by setting down weight for multi-use, as required. In well test
applications the tool is run directly above the Safety Joint. The Hydraulic Jar is splined to allow torque to be
transmitted below the tool.

Safety Joint and Overshot

The Safety Joint allows the tubing string above to be recovered in the event that the packer cannot be released
after jarring. This ensures recovery of the DST tool and memory gauge data recorded during the well test. The
Safety Joint is released by rotation of the test string. Should the Safety Joint be released, an Overshot can be
run on a work string with heavy-duty jars to reconnect and recover the remainder of the bottomhole assembly.

Retrievable DST packers

Expro has a wide range of retrievable hookwall packers suitable for DST and shoot and pull perforating
operations, for casing sizes ranging from 41/2” through 133/8”. Our in-house flagship 7” high-strength BigCat™
packer is capable of withstanding 15,000 psi differential pressures from above and below at temperatures up to
400°F/204°C and is an efficient and viable alternative to a seal-bore packer in HP/HT well environments. It is set
with minimal clockwise rotation (one eighth turn) of the string and releases to the safety position with straight pull.

Permanent seal-bore packers and locator seal assemblies

In applications where seal-bore packers are required, such as HP/HT wells, Expro has access to a range of
permanent and semi-permanent seal bore packers, seal-bore extensions and locator seal assemblies. Where
seals are floated in the seal-bore, Slip Joints are not required.

New technology & innovation

Expro is committed to advancing technology in the field of DST, with

our investment driven by the requirements of existing and emerging
growth markets. With close links to our long established Subsea
development group, a dedicated DST engineering team, guided by
seasoned DST professionals, work in-house to develop and introduce
innovative DST tools to our range.

As the industry moves to harsher environments (ultra-deep waters and extreme HP/HT wells), Expro’s focus is to
safely deliver increased functionality and efficiency to enable the capture of accurate, valid data to meet specific
well test objectives. The cost impact of not delivering in these key areas is substantial, considering the
environment and the extremely high rig costs typically associated with deepwater and HP/HT wells.

Our proposition is: Functionality + Efficiency + Data assurance = Value. This is the basis for the new Expro
DST tools.

ExACT™
The ExACT™ tool is an advanced multi-cycle, fully Ball open
annulus pressure operated tool. It combines the ports closed
functionality of a tester valve for downhole shut-ins, and
a circulating valve for spotting cushions and treatment
fluids, and reverse and forward circulating during well kill Ball closed
operations. ExACT therefore replaces the POTV and ports closed
tubing-operated MRST in the tool string.

The unique smart-collet and interlocking system which

operates in conjunction with the indexing sleeve makes Ball closed
ports open
this tool highly operationally flexible and efficient. It
requires a maximum of four annulus pressure cycles to
place the ball and circulating ports in any required
position. The ball and ports are mechanically prevented
from being open at same time. As the tool operates
against a trapped reference pressure, there are no costly
waiting times between cycles.

Self Fill Tubing Tester Valve (SF-TTV)

Expro’s new generation flapper-type SF-TTV, is an innovative departure from traditional designs. The main
purpose of the valve is to allow the tubing string to fill from below for multiple pressure tests whilst running in hole.
After the final pressure test the valve requires to be locked out of service leaving an unobstructed bore. A lower
and upper SF-TTV can be incorporated in HP/HT DST strings, with the upper SF-TTV isolating the DST tools and
pressure/temperature gauges from unnecessary high pressure tests.
The Expro SF-TTV achieves all of the above using a unique patented, bi-directional tubing-to-tubing bypass. The
flapper, which is housed in a ported inner sleeve sub-assembly, is pinned closed and never leaves its seat,
therefore cannot wash out whilst running in hole. It is highly debris tolerant, meaning no debris can lodge across
the seat and cause the valve to fail.
A string pressure test is achieved by pumping down the tubing, which at minimal rates, creates a back-pressure
moving the flapper assembly downwards to close the bypass. On releasing the pressure, a spring returns the
flapper assembly to the self-fill, run-in-hole position. There is no limit to the number of pressure tests, and when
required, the SF-TTV is locked out of service by applying pressure to the annulus to burst a pre-selected rupture
disk, shifting the flow mandrel up through the flapper before locking out.
The incorporated tubing-to-tubing bypass feature delivers additional functional
benefits in the following scenarios:

■ When exiting seal-bore packers during space-out operations, traditional flapper

valves of this kind, will seal and therefore pressure lock. The solution is to
incorporate an annulus-to-tubing bypass below the flapper which can
compromise string integrity. This is not the case with our innovative tubing-to-
tubing bypass.
■ When making tubing string connections at the rotary table on floating vessels,
traditional flapper valves will hold fluid, therefore hampering make-up operations,
due to mud spilling over on the upstroke. This results in non-productive time and
also has safety implications. Our tubing-to-tubing bypass allows fluid to drain
back as the string is raised with rig heave.

New technology & innovation

The BigCat™ HP/HT packer
The Expro BigCat packer is a premium high-strength, compression set, tubing-retrievable HP/HT packer, ideal for
drill stem testing, perforating and stimulation operations.
With its unique slip and cone design, extensively tested with multiple loadings at 520,000 lbf, it is the only packer
on the market capable of withstanding 15,000 psi differential pressure from above and below when set, at
temperatures up to 400°F/204°C.
The modular hydraulic hold-down sub ensures that
the packer remains set when subjected to
excessive pressure from below during stimulation
operations. An integral fluid bypass ensures efficient
deployment. The packer requires only a small
amount of right-hand rotation to set (one-eighth of
a turn at the tool), and releases to the safety
position with straight pull.
This BigCat packer is available with standard or
premium element sealing systems, depending on
the service
requirements, and
is a flexible and
efficient
alternative to
