Abstract: Lets face it. Well testing can be tough. This paper will chronicle the challenges that has been plaguing well testing activities, especially so when utilizing MPFMs. A catalogue of pain points unearthed by a collaborative effort not limited to metering practitioners, production technologists and planners alike. Complex as it may be, these pain points are identified, compiled and will be described comprehensively as part of the problem statement. Field potential optimizations are often complicated in an oil field with large number of wells, as gas and water production increasing, both can affect each well optimization due to many reasons (lower reservoir pressure, increasing gas-oil ratio, backpressure from produced gas and water, etc.). Achieving optimum production for the total field requires good understanding on the well performance and flow characteristic as accurately as possible. Accurate well data can help operations to effectively plan well activities such as choke optimization and gas lift optimization. Without good and accurate data, the efficiency of optimization programs will not be significant - resulting in lower revenue return on investment made for these activities.
