Abstract
Before proceeding to test-design principles, testing procedures, regulations, and reporting of a specific gaswell test, there are several further considerations to be mentioned. Specifically, we shall discuss: the use of surface pressures in our relationships, time to stabilization, radius of investigation, choice of flow rates, duration of flow rates, wellbore storage effects, production of liquids, choice of measurement and well testing equipment, sampling, and safety in testing.
